Peter Principle and Corollaries

Peter Principle
In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.
- Laurence Peter

First Corollary
In time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out his duties.

Second Corollary
Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.

Generalized Peter Principle
Anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it fails.
- William Corcoran
