Safari Books Limited has confirmed that October 2025 will mark the official release of Leading in a Storm, the latest book by acclaimed author, leadership scholar, and crisis management strategist, Dr. Dakuku Peterside.
According to the publishers, the much-anticipated title will debut simultaneously in Nigeria and on the international stage, with launch events planned for Lagos, Abuja, London, and Chicago.
Positioned as a vital resource for today’s unpredictable world, Leading in a Storm addresses how leaders can navigate turbulence with foresight, composure, and moral clarity.
Drawing from years of distinguished service in politics, governance, and corporate management, Dr. Peterside examines what separates leaders who thrive in times of disruption from those who collapse under pressure.
The book lays out practical approaches built around eight central pillars of crisis leadership, such as situational awareness, calm confidence, sense-making, and sound decision-making.
“Crisis does not create character, it reveals it,” Dr. Peterside observes, emphasizing that leadership is most authentically demonstrated when systems are under strain.
Packed with case studies and lived experiences, the book serves as a practical roadmap for leaders across sectors; from government and business to civil society and the non-profit community.
Far more than a conventional leadership text, Leading in a Storm is presented as a rallying call to a new cadre of leaders who must combine empathy, effectiveness, and ethical grounding to meet the challenges of uncertain times.
The book will be released in both print and digital editions and made widely available in leading bookstores in Nigeria and abroad.
