André Spicer André is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at the Cass Business School in London and founding director of ETHOS, the centre for responsible enterprise. He is the author of critically acclaimed books including: The Stupidity Paradox, Business Bullshit, Metaphors We Lead By, Desperately Seeking Self Improvement and the Wellness Syndrome.
After studying business and humanities in his native New Zealand, André took a doctorate in Management at the University of Melbourne in Australia. Since then, he has held positions at universities around the world and is now recognised as one of the foremost critical thinkers about business and leadership in the world.
André is fascinated with the strange things people do in organisations. His work asks questions like why do smart people do stupid things, is our obsession with happiness making us miserable, why do good people act unethically, and why changing initiatives often make things stay the same.
Alongside his work as an award-winning teacher and researcher, André frequently writes about business and work life for the Guardian, Financial Times, Telegraph and Harvard Business Review. He has also worked with organisations like Barclays, BNY Mellon, Jaguar Land Rover, IBM, Old Mutual, the UK House of Commons, The City of London, and Transport for London.
