The Peter Principle

This bestselling business classic of more than twenty-five years duration is a dead-on account of why boredom, bungling, and bad management are built into every organization. Through hilarious case histories and cartoons adapted from Punch, Dr. Peter shows how Americas corporate career track drives employees relentlessly upward — until they get promoted into jobs they just cant do and wind up desperately treading water, driving their colleagues crazy, and dragging down productivity and profit.
