The classic #1 New York Times bestseller that answers the
age-old questionWhy is incompetence so maddeningly rampant and so
vexingly triumphant?
The Peter Principle, the eponymous law Dr. Laurence J. Peter
coined, explains that everyone in a hierarchy--from the office
intern to the CEO, from the low-level civil servant to a nation's
president--will inevitably rise to his or her level of
incompetence. Dr. Peter explains why incompetence is at the root of
everything we endeavor to do--why schools bestow ignorance, why
governments condone anarchy, why courts dispense injustice, why
prosperity causes unhappiness, and why utopian plans never generate
utopias.
With the wit of Mark Twain, the psychological acuity of Sigmund
Freud, and the theoretical impact of Isaac Newton, Dr. Laurence J.
Peter and Raymond Hull's The Peter Principle brilliantly explains
how incompetence and its accompanying symptoms, syndromes, and
remedies define the world and the work we do in it.
