Following the resounding success of his online session in October 2025, we are thrilled to welcome Nick Obolensky back for a live ELP Leadership Dialogue in 2026. Nick’s unparalleled ability to distill insights from his vast experience across diverse sectors—ranging from his time as a young Army Major to his roles as CEO, Chairman, entrepreneur, consultant, and Professor—makes him a truly authoritative voice on leadership in complex environments. Nick’s central premise is both provocative and transformative: the more complex things become, the less traditional leadership is needed. But how can leaders not only navigate the uncertainty and unpredictability of complexity but also harness it as a strategic advantage for their organizations? Drawing on his groundbreaking research in Complex Adaptive Leadership, Nick will explore a new system of leadership designed for today’s dynamic world. The session will begin with an in-depth interview with Nick, where he will share his insights on leveraging complexity and uncertainty. Following this, participants will engage in moderated Roundtable Dialogue, providing an opportunity to reflect, share experiences, and translate these ideas into actionable strategies for their own leadership challenges.
