Do you have any good business books on e.g., strategy a consultant should read?

Current MBB consultant here. Doing a lot of PE related work but now also working with corporate clients. 

Since I have a background in finance (undergrad) and die mostly finance/IB internships, I somehow feel I lack understanding of competitive positioning, strategy, etc. - I am always deep into the numbers without knowing the big picture. 

Do you have any book recs. for typical strategy topics (go to market, expansion, etc.)?
