A lot of people don't like Larry Ellison, but most would agree that he's a genius with amazing long-term thinking ability. How does he do it?

 

What does it take to think at the scale of someone who built one of the most powerful enterprise technology companies in the world? How do confidence, long-term vision, and a willingness to challenge consensus shape real strategic success? And what can today’s professionals learn from a founder who never tried to be liked—but always tried to be right?

 

In this guided discussion, Omar will lead an exploration of how Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, approaches thinking, risk, and competition. We’ll look at how Ellison built Oracle into a global software giant, his famously direct and competitive leadership style, and why his ability to think long-term, often years ahead of the market, set him apart. This isn’t about copying Ellison’s personality; it’s about understanding the mental models behind his decisions, his comfort with controversy, and his refusal to think small. A practical, high-level discussion for anyone curious about strategy, power, and how big outcomes often start with uncomfortable ways of thinking.
