Elias is a PhD fellow in Leadership at the Department of Organization. His main interest is in the alternative approaches to thinking about and practicing leadership in alternative organizations. Seeing leadership as a social accomplishment, rather than as individualized traits and behaviors, Elias studies worker-owned and led cooperatives with emphasis on how they produce alternative organizational strategies and practices that perform the function of leadership. His research areas include: leadership, cooperatives, democratic organizing and involvement, alternative organizations, critical performativity, and critical approaches to the study of working lives.
He is a member of the WeTo research group at IOA, and is also part of FiDE, an independent network for research in democratic ownership.
Elias is a psychologist, and has a background working with entrepreneurship in the cooperative sector, as well as experience with deliberative citizen engagement as a consultant and facilitator for the design and implementation of the EU-wide participatory democracy project "Conference on the Future of Europe"
