Andre John Haddad is a sought-after public speaker, primarily because he will present alternate views on such topics as authority, employment, competencies, ethics, discipline, leadership, customers, satisfaction, consultancy & change. His mission is to deliver through the conference medium an alternative understanding of how we learn, when we reluctantly change and why we fail and succeed.
For over 30 years, Andre John Haddad has questioned the way we do business and handle people. He discusses best practices that consistently fail sooner or later. He introduces other ways of understanding life as a person, as a student, as a spouse, as a citizen, as an employee and as a leader. He also talks about the near total disappearance of adults in our society and in our corporations.
The conferences are basically designed to clarify people’s perception of what’s out there at work. By the end of a conference, some will better understand how things work; others will recognize the areas where they have control and when they don’t.
Conferences are usually interactive and involve discussion, healthy confrontation and most importantly, answers to questions. Conferences do not offer balance or great comfort, instead they provide insight. To increase the effectiveness of a conference, Mr. Haddad will talk with a few attendees in advance--to better locate a starting point and thus better identify live problematical issues that profoundly relate to participants and leaders’ everyday life at work or at school.
The conferences have over the years changed in content and strategy: the subject matter is often a core component of an organization’s change strategy, an institution’s learning agenda and recently, in the introduction of a new mindset. A few conferences have been co-facilitated with a senior member of the organization’s management staff to provide new insights as well as organizational direction.
At a recent conference (based on Andre John Haddad’s writings “A Cautionary Tale about Integrity”) Andre John Haddad discussed the atrophy of integrity in business. Among his arguments, that can be accessed at Papers in this web site, he describes work environments in the hands of rudderless people or worse, of cold-blooded “strategists” willing to destroy organizations for short term personal gain.
