The Peter Principle

The Peter Principle states that “in a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to their level of incompetence.” This means that people are often promoted based on their performance in their current role rather than their ability to perform in the new role. As a result, they may eventually be placed in positions where they are not competent, leading to inefficiency and frustration.
