At Disneyland's Avengers Campus, a "Stuntronics" animatronic robot developed by Disney engineers performs Spider-Man's aerial stunts up to 65 feet high. It looks so lifelike that visitors fully believe they are seeing an actual stunt performer.

Fascinating perspective. Explains a LOT. 😁

What is the ‘Peter Principle’? It’s an epidemic that no one wants to admit: Good workers keep getting promoted until they can no longer do their job well.

“In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to [their] level of incompetence." —Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull (the educators who coined the principle).

Why does this happen?

• Good followers ≠ Good leaders
• Skills that got you promoted ≠ Skills needed for new role
• Companies promote based on past performance, not future potential

Result: A company full of promising people who actually become worse at their jobs.

The Peter Principle explains why we have a leadership gap, a conundrum that Josh Bersin, the principal of Bersin by Deloitte, articulates well:

“Every individual performer, individual contributor who gets promoted to a supervisor or managerial job isn’t really taking on a new job. They’re really taking on a new profession.”

The solution to the Peter Principle has two parts:

1. Provide substantial transition training between roles.

If your new leaders are stagnating or failing in their roles, you are accountable.
�Someone who has spent their entire career following orders cannot become a great leader overnight.

2. If the leadership role is not a good fit, then move your talent laterally to a better-fitting position.

Be a champion of lateral moves; both Thomas Jefferson and Steve Wozniak made them, and countless others.

The Peter Principle isn't a death sentence. It's a wake-up call.

• Challenge your team to grow
• Train them properly
• Place them where they shine

Witnessing someone out of their depth is only the beginning of the story; it’s not how the story ends.
