  • ⁠Calm Confidence: Leading with conviction and composure
  • ⁠Sense-Making: Interpreting and responding to crisis signals
  • ⁠Strategic Decision-Making: Making informed decisions in uncertain times

Dr. Peterside draws on his decades of experience in politics, corporate governance, and public administration to explore what distinguishes resilient leaders from those who falter in high-stakes situations. Through real-world case studies and hard-won insights, he offers a practical playbook for leaders in government, business, civil society, and the non-profit world.

Praise for “Leading in a Storm”

The new book is a timely call to action for a new generation of leaders committed to empathy, effectiveness, and ethical clarity in uncertain times. As Dr. Peterside aptly puts it, “Crisis does not build character, it reveals it,” highlighting the importance of true leadership in times of chaos.

Availability

“Leading in a Storm” will be available in print and digital formats at major bookstores across Nigeria and globally. High-profile public presentations are slated for Lagos, Abuja, London, and Chicago.

It’s worth noting that Dr. Dakuku Peterside has another book, “Beneath the Surface: Essays on Nigeria’s Chequered Journey,” also set for release in October 2025, which explores Nigeria’s multifaceted history, socio-political challenges, and aspirations for the future .
