The "Peter Principle": Why most companies are filled with people out of their depth
Briefly

The Peter Principle reveals that employees often rise to their level of incompetence, leading to inefficiencies in organizations as they struggle in roles beyond their expertise.
This principle stems from the observation that competent individuals tend to be promoted until they occupy positions where they lack the necessary skills, creating a culture of inefficiency.
Originally intended as satire, The Peter Principle resonates with many, illustrating a common corporate struggle—people find themselves in roles they are unable to manage effectively.
The phenomenon highlighted by the Peter Principle not only affects the individual’s performance but can also hinder the overall success and productivity of an organization.
