[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 690130, member: 12570"] The [B]Peter Principle[/B] is the principle that "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence." It was formulated by Dr. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_J._Peter"][COLOR=#002bb8]Laurence J. Peter[/COLOR][/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Hull"][COLOR=#002bb8]Raymond Hull[/COLOR][/URL] in their 1969 book [I]The Peter Principle[/I], a humorous treatise which also introduced the "salutary science of Hierarchiology", "inadvertently founded" by Peter. It holds that in a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_organization"][COLOR=#002bb8]hierarchy[/COLOR][/URL], members are promoted so long as they work competently.
