LID to Publish Game Changing Leadership Book for the Age of Permanent Disruption by Miloud Hassene

The Black Dragon by Miloud Hassene will be published in Spring 2027.

LID Publishing is delighted to announce the acquisition of The Black Dragon: Leadership, Foresight and Power to Win in an Age of Permanent Disruption by Miloud Hassene, a timely new leadership book that redefines how leaders must think about risk, sovereignty and survival in a world where disruption is no longer episodic, but structural and permanent.

Where the Black Swan prepared leaders to respect rare shocks, The Black Dragon reveals a harder truth: the shocks are no longer rare. Geopolitical fragmentation, technological velocity, regulatory weaponisation, social strain and supply chain instability are not isolated events. They are converging forces that compound and repeat. Leaders who wait for clarity are discovering that clarity arrives too late.

The book offers a powerful new framework for leaders navigating an age of permanent disruption, helping them recognise recurring patterns of instability, strengthen strategic foresight and build the resilience required to transform, compete and grow.

As Miloud Hassene explains: “The Black Dragon is not a prediction. It is a pattern. Disruption has stopped visiting and has taken up residence. Leaders no longer face isolated shocks they can recover from, they face recurring, overlapping pressures that narrow strategic options before the full picture emerges. This book is for leaders who recognize that waiting for consensus is now the same as letting the environment decide for them.”

Martin Liu, Publisher & COO of LID, praises the book’s intrinsic value, stating: “Every leader knows the old models are failing them. This is the book that explains why, and offers the framework built for what comes next. Miloud Hassene has written something rare: a work that defines our era rather than reacting to it. Few books arrive at exactly the moment their argument is being proven. This is one of them.”

Miloud Hassene is Head of Enterprise Risk Management at a Fortune Global 500 leader in environmental services, with over 25 years leading global risk governance, geostrategic foresight and enterprise resilience. He has dedicated his career to helping organizations navigate uncertainty and build the resilience to transform, compete and grow. He is based in Ontario, Canada.

The Black Dragon: Leadership, Foresight and Power to Win in an Age of Permanent Disruption will be published by LID Publishing in Spring 2027.
