Features: Dr. Lawrence Peter, after years of research on hierarchical organizations, discovered a law that overturns traditional thinking: in hierarchical organizations, employees tend to be promoted to positions they are not qualified for. As a result, every position in the company will eventually be occupied by incompetent employees. The "Ladder Law" provides a prescription for those struggling in positions they are unsuited for, guidance for those stuck at the bottom of the ladder and frustrated, and a method for senior managers to identify and utilize the right people.
