In the 1970s, there was a popular book called The Peter Principle by Laurence Peter. The premise of the book was that successful people often receive promotions until they're finally promoted to a level of incompetence.  The most common application of this principle is in sales. After many great salespeople have success, they often assume ... The post The Peter Principle appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

[EP 25-076] James Woods tweeted: Two guys who have more money than they'll ever need are working for NO SALARY 16 hours a day to make the lives of hard-working Americans better. And all the Democrats do is bitch and moan. Former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi just claimed that "If you voted for [Trump], you really need to question whether you're American anymore." This is a particularly chilling statement from a person appointed by Robert Mueller to head counterintelligence operations...I wish Elon Musk would use DOGE to find every anti-American and anti-Trump post on social media, so President Trump knows DIRECTLY who to fire.The Peter Principle, cooked up by Laurence J. Peter, is the brutal truth that in any hierarchy, people get promoted until they're bad at their jobs. You start off great, climb the ladder, and then—oops—you land in a role where you're completely out of your depth. Why? Because being good at one job doesn't mean you'll be good at the next one. It's like promoting a star quarterback to coach, only to realize he can't draw up a play to save his life. The idea was laid out in a 1969 book co-written by Peter and Raymond Hull. It was meant to be satire, but it hit a nerve because, let's face it, we've all worked for someone who proved the point. Now, it's a staple of management theory—and a perfect excuse for why your boss is the way they are. In short: promotions don't stop until incompetence does. Funny? Yes. Painfully accurate? Absolutely.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

As we stand on the brink of a new year, Baylor Barbee explores the intriguing concept of the Peter Principle in this episode of "Shark Theory." Expressing enthusiasm for the prospects of 2025, Baylor shares insights gained from a recent conversation that spurred him to reflect on career growth and personal development. This episode serves as both a reflection on past achievements and a call to action for listeners to maximize their potential by embracing new challenges strategically. The discussion dives deep into understanding personal and professional ceilings—the limits that keep us from advancing in our careers and lives. Baylor emphasizes that stagnation doesn't imply a lack of intelligence but rather points to a need for growth and adaptability. He challenges listeners to identify their current limitations and strategically train themselves, not to increase their workload, but to optimize their capabilities. He passionately advocates for turning aspirations into actionable plans, highlighting the importance of training over simple participation to achieve career advancement and broader, more versatile skill sets. Key Takeaways: The Peter Principle suggests individuals are promoted to the level of their incompetence, underscoring the need for continuous growth. Recognizing and improving one's "current ceiling" is crucial in overcoming stagnation and advancing in both career and personal life. Efficiency in skill development is more important than mere increased effort; working smarter, not harder, is key to growth. Embrace comprehensive training methods and seek new skills to be well-rounded and adaptable in career and life challenges. 2025 should be seen as a year of personal empowerment and transformation, where each individual focuses on becoming their best self. Notable Quotes: "In a hierarchy of a business, you rise, you get promoted to the level of your respective incompetence." "I'm not going into 2025 saying you got to work harder, you got to do more. I'm saying you can get more results by being efficient." "If you're stuck, you are your own bottleneck." "Focus on being great at something, but then work on some lateral movement type skills." "2025 is going to be the most confident, most powerful, most get it done version of you."

En daarmee zijn deze 7 bronnen van arbeidsvreugde een mooie kapstok om je eigen reflectie eens aan op te hangen. Want hoe zit het met jouw bronnen van arbeidsvreugde? En als je komend jaar een stap wilt maken… hoe voorkom je dan dat jij in de val van Peter loopt?

Today, we're diving into a topic that might be affecting your practice more than you realize: Is Your Office Manager Living the Peter Principle? Now, you might be wondering—what is the Peter Principle? And how could it apply to my medical practice? Let's break it down.  The Peter Principle is a concept first described by Dr. Laurence J. Peter in his 1969 book, The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong. It states that employees in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence." In other words, they get promoted based on their performance in their current role until they reach a position where they're no longer effective. In the context of a medical practice, this principle can have significant repercussions. Picture your Office Manager, someone who has been with your practice for years. They've handled scheduling, billing, and HR—wearing multiple hats as your practice grew from just a couple of physicians to a bustling team. But as the demands increased, their skill set may not have evolved as quickly. Suddenly, they're managing tasks beyond their capabilities, struggling with strategic planning, advanced budgeting, or navigating complex regulations. That's the Peter Principle at play.

“When you truly grasp the impact of your words, actions, and behavior, that awareness fundamentally transforms your approach to everything.”– Dr. Jonathan Baktari, Healthcare CEO, Entrepreneur, Speaker In this episode of the Pragmatic Product Chats series, host Rebecca Kalogeris engages in an insightful discussion with Dr. Jonathan Baktari, a seasoned physician, entrepreneur, and leader with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Baktari owns and operates several businesses, including multiple health clinics and a software service used in over 20,000 locations. As a business leader, he relies on technology, data, and his trusted team to reach more people than ever before. He shares his extensive knowledge and unique perspective on the intersection of leadership, technology, and employee development. Join us for an engaging conversation that blends healthcare, technology, and leadership, offering practical advice for product managers, marketers, and leaders looking to elevate their teams and organizations. Key Takeaways: 1. The Leadership Dilemma: Dr. Baktari delves into the Peter Principle, which suggests that individuals are promoted based on their current role competence rather than their potential in higher roles. This often leads to leaders who excelled in previous positions but struggle with leadership duties. Great CEOs can make the critical distinction between someone who is proficient at a job and those that would make an effective leader. 2. Micro Mentoring: Dr. Baktari introduces the concept of "micro mentoring" as a superior alternative to micromanaging. By instilling the organization's philosophy and goals in employees, leaders can empower their teams to make independent decisions that align with the company's vision. This approach fosters a sense of autonomy and encourages proactive problem-solving. 3. Invest in Company Culture: The importance of investing in employee growth and fostering a supportive culture is often underestimated. Dr.Baktari emphasizes creating an environment that encourages continuous improvement and development. By prioritizing employee development, companies can build a robust and motivated workforce dedicated to achieving long-term success. ABOUT OUR GUEST: Dr. Jonathan Baktari is a distinguished physician with over two decades of experience in clinical practice, medical administration, and entrepreneurship.

We conclude our look at Lawrence Peter's The Peter Principle by discussing why the Principle is timeless is its quality. Our contemporary experiences with hierarchies may have changed due to greater mobility of workers, but the Principle itself provokes our thinking about management. We also discuss how Peter used satire to present his points and why it seems to be so effective in this particular instance. Is satire a reasonable method to launch and disseminate ideas, and if so, how and when it is most suitable?

People who are good at their jobs routinely get promoted into bigger jobs they're bad at. We explain why firms keep producing incompetent managers — and why that's unlikely to change. SOURCES:Nick Bloom, professor of economics at Stanford University.Katie Johnson, freelance data and analytics coach.Kelly Shue, professor of finance at the Yale University School of Management.Steve Tadelis, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley Haas School of Business. RESOURCES:“People Management Skills, Employee Attrition, and Manager Rewards: An Empirical Analysis,” by Mitchell Hoffman and Steven Tadelis (Journal of Political Economy, 2021).“Promotions and the Peter Principle,” by Alan Benson, Danielle Li, and Kelly Shue (The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2019).“Bosses Matter: The Effects of Managers on Workers' Performance,” by Kathryn L.

We will provide our take on The Peter Principle, the book that provided the old adage, “In a hierarchy, everyone rises to their level of incompetence.” While the book was written as satire, it touched a nerve of many people frustrated about organizational life. A fun episode!

The diligent administrative assistant moves up to supervisor but fails. The assembly line worker is promoted to foreman but cannot do the job. A teacher earns a deputy principal position in a school but falls flat on their face. Why is that? Why does this seem to happen across organizations?In The Peter Principle, Lawrence J. Peter and Raymond Hull not only provides answers to these questions, they delve into all the possible implications. The Principle goes like this, “In a hierarchy, everyone rises to their level of incompetence.” How they derived this principle the subject of our conversation that explores one of the funniest but more insightful book on the perils of organizational life ever written. 

Jordan discusses how the Peter Principle applies to day trading. How can you know whether you've risen to a point of incompetence, and more importantly... how do you push past that, to become a master at day trading? ***************************** Use code "ANARCHY" for 20% off your evaluation at TradeDay, the futures prop firm that we personally use!

The Peter Principle suggests that individuals in a hierarchy tend to rise to their level of incompetence. We explore how this principle applies to day trading, especially when traders increase their risk, elevate their trading capital, or shift to shorter timeframes, potentially leading to a plateau or decline in performance. We dissect the intricacies of the Peter Principle, guiding listeners through the signs of having reached their incompetence level in trading. Are you experiencing increased fear, making hasty decisions, or seeing a decline in trading performance? We tackle these critical questions, providing listeners with actionable insights and strategies to recognize and overcome these challenges in real-time. Our discussion extends beyond diagnosis; we emphasize the path to overcoming these hurdles. Drawing parallels with the corporate world, where employees are trained and equipped with a structured plan to excel at the next level, we advocate for a similar approach in day trading. We stress the importance of not treating trading as a casual endeavor but as a serious business or opportunity that demands continuous improvement and a strategic plan for advancement. Listeners will learn how to craft a personalized plan to enhance their trading skills, manage risk effectively, and navigate the complexities of the financial markets with increased competence and confidence. We share tips on how to cultivate a growth mindset, adapt to evolving market conditions, and refine trading strategies to break through the plateau caused by the Peter Principle. Tune in to this episode to transform your trading journey, armed with the knowledge and tools to identify when you've hit a performance ceiling and how to push beyond it. Whether you're a novice trader or an experienced market player, this episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to achieving long-term success and continuous improvement in the high-stakes world of day trading.

The need for genuine engagement and empowerment in the workplace was stressed. Kelly Grayson shares an example of providing discounted meals for employees during hectic schedules as a concrete example of servant leadership. Leadership by buzzwords. Our cohosts raise concerns about leaders in EMS who rely on buzzwords without understanding their practical implications. They suggest many EMS leaders are caught up in an "ego vortex," focusing more on authority and titles rather than service and care. Personal leadership journey. Chris Cebollero shares his personal journey from being a "horrible leader" to understanding the essence of effective leadership. He emphasizes the importance of emotional control and viewing challenges as solutions. Systemic issue in EMS leadership. The discussion highlights a systemic problem in EMS leadership, pointing out the lack of formal training and understanding of the art and science of leadership. Our cohosts stress that success in leadership should be measured by the engagement, satisfaction and productivity of the workforce. The Peter Principle. The conversation touches on the Peter Principle, where individuals are promoted to their level of incompetence. They note often, leaders are not equipped with the necessary tools and training for their roles. Difference between managers and leaders. A distinction is made between managers and leaders. Managers are described as those who enforce policies and procedures, whereas leaders are seen as doing the right thing and then justifying it officially.

Nothing else matters." — Chris Cebollero "Leadership is both an art and a science.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Love the show, you guys have saved my bacon more times than I can count! I interviewed at an organization for a Senior Engineering role, but the interview went so well, they actually offered me the option to accept a Staff role! I definitely didn't feel ready for that, but I accepted as a way to stretch and challenge myself. The company has been through some internal churn and re-arranging for most of my time there, and I bounced between a lot of projects, which means I've now been at the company coming up on 2 years, but not really had the chance to grow into the role. Now, I've been here awhile, don't have a lot of excuses, and am bad at being a Staff Engineer. My biggest failing, is that I lack a bigger vision for our project, beyond just meeting customer needs for today. I'm not even sure how to start building that bigger vision! In my current project, this is especially apparent, because we do need to meet internal customer needs, but the end goal is a larger platform. We need features that inspire new avenues of work as well as enable current ones. How the heck do I even begin to start imagining what this bigger vision could be? Moreover, once I have that vision, how do I get buy in for that vision? My inability to do this kind of forward thinking has been a boat anchor around my ankles my entire career, and I'm lost as to where to even start. Help me guys, I love my job, but I fear I've become the embodiment of the Peter Principle. Help me chew my ankles off to save my career Listener Trevor asks, ‌ I work as a data scientist at a small company. I joined the company specifically because of the positive work environment. I do mostly software development and until recently have only received positive reviews. Recently we had a heated meeting with the CTO and CFO where we demonstrated that a customer's request wasn't feasible. The CTO challenged and expressed disbelief in our numbers which we had thoroughly analyzed and confirmed as accurate. I felt like their reaction was due to our results conflicting with our business needs. After that, my manager began pushing me to prioritize data science tasks. He attributed the outcome of the meeting to my lack of attention to detail, even though the results were accurate. He also said this would affect my next performance review. We reached a resolution when I apologized and committed to improvement. I've only received positive feedback since, but I still feel the assessment was unfairly based on such a brief meeting. Now I view the company and my manager differently. Without the positive work relationships with management and colleagues, I'm not sure what is keeping me here. Our tech stack is outdated, and there's reluctance to change practices. For example, we didn't have a CICD pipeline until only a few months ago. Additionally, the performance review and promotion schedules are nebulous and irregular. I'm uncertain about my next steps. Should I address the perceived unfairness of the meeting feedback? Or would it be better to start exploring other job opportunities?

Join 10's of thousands of your fellow learning leaders and receive a carefully curated email from me each Monday morning to help you start your week off right... Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown are adjunct professors of entrepreneurship at USC's Marshall School of Business where they teach the popular class they created, “Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs. ” They are also authors, speakers, longtime sales professionals, and best friends who met while working at enterprise software startup Bitium, which they helped lead to an acquisition by Google. This odd couple first connected over their shared obsession with the importance of selling, and have made it their mission to uncover the unexpected and inspiring mindset of the highest-achieving sellers on the planet. The most impactful sales professionals are learners. They consume information and ask lots of questions that they are deeply curious to know the answers to. They don't go down the list of sales discovery questions. It's from a place of curiosity. "Noone has ever changed the world without moving people." That's sales. An abundance mindset — Collin was meeting with a new sales rep named Matt that worked for you at Bitium. Matt sat down on the couch and loved it. He asked who made it and Collin didn't know. So he flipped over the cushion, saw who made it, realized they were a potential customer and made a note in his phone to connect with them on LinkedIn and call them. Matt has an abundance mindset. "Great sellers see opportunity where others don't." World-Class sales professionals love the process. When making promotional hires/decisions, "create a culture that's not pulled up. It's pushed up."  When promoting someone to be a manager, look at those who are known to help others. They are pushed to management by the members of the team because they are so helpful. Being a “pathological optimist” — Colin told a story about taking the first flight with his whole family (wife Margot and two young boys) and despite the chaos of crying and trying to take care of young children, Colin loved it and told Margot "it would be a great story one day." She called him a pathological optimist (not meant as a compliment, but he took it as one). Act like a teammate, not a coach: Will Smith's manager, JL, told him to turn down a $10m offer for a movie called 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag because it didn't help them pursue Will's goal of being a big movie star. (Even though both of them didn't have any money at the time) The Partnership: “Colin, thank you for seeing something in a slightly insecure, overly analytical introvert and deciding to throw in with me.” The class they teach is called “Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs” Colin & Garrett don't teach a typical sales class focused how to “build rapport,” “handle objections,” or “ask for the close.” Instead, they help students understand why the most successful people on the planet aren't successful because of what they do, they're successful because of what they think. We all sell, every day. Sometimes it's ourselves, sometimes it's ideas, and sometimes it's products. We truly believe that the world would benefit if EVERYONE learned how to sell authentically, whether you're a "salesperson" or not. Great salespeople are not remembered for the statements they make, they're remembered for the questions they ask.  Ask better questions, get better results. As mindset guys, we get a little bit obsessed with one-on-ones when we lead teams, so we geek out when experts like Jeanne shed light on new questions to ask that can help bring out the best in other people. At some point a long time ago, someone studying great salespeople noticed they were mirroring the people they were talking to. So they started training salespeople to mirror the body language of their customers. One MAJOR problem... These great sellers weren't connecting with people because they were mirroring, they were UNCONSCIOUSLY mirroring people
