"Chris Young, The Rainmaker"

Ah, the Peter Principle! It's been a while since I've visited this great business principle - thanks for bringing it up Bob!

I featured this post as part of my weekly Rainmaker 'Fab Five' blog picks of the week (found here: http://www.maximizepossibility.com/employee_retention/2009/02/the-rainmaker-fab-five-blog-picks-of-the-week-2.html) so that my readers might revisit this classic principle of business.

Be well!

Peter thought folks would not get promoted beyond their level of incompetence. Sadly, folks can continue up the bureaucracy by 1. getting kicked upstairs (common to the US military) or 2. upward transfer to a different institution within a larger agency (very common in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction)
