The Peter Principle:
In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.

Here's a summary of the 1969 book. (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/gately/bkpeter.htm)

According to Dr. Peter: Work is accomplished by those employees who have not reached their level of incompetence. Thus we can see why organizations still function even as the Peter Principle causes some employees to accept one too many promotions. Peter's Corollary: In time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties.



Have you reached your level of incompetence?
Or do you see someone at the workplace who has?

I think I've reached mine, so I'm correcting it... :sunnysmile:
