The Peter Principle is derived from the analysis of the hundreds of cases of incompetence in
organizations which can be seen anywhere. The principle points out that in a hierarchy every
employee tends to reach his level of incompetence and it applies to all organizations. The
Principle assumes a constant quest for high performance. Hence people competent at their jobs
are promoted so that they may do still better. Competence in each new position
qualifies for promotion to the next until each individual reaches a job beyond his abilities and
therefore no longer performs in a way that gains further promotion. This is his level of
incompetence Given two conditions enough ranks in the hierarchy to provide promotions and
enough time to move through them all employees reach and remain at their level of
incompetence. This can be stated as Peter's Principle: In time, every post tends to be occupied
by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties.
