Additional quotes by Laurence J. Peter

Incompetence,” he argued, “knows no barrier of time or place.

It is true that work can expand to fill the time allotted but it can expand far beyond that. It can expand beyond the life of the organization and the company can go bankrupt, a government can fall, a civilization can crumble into barbarism, while the incompetents work on.

In most hierarchies, super-competence is more objectionable than incompetence.

For each individual, for you, for me, the final promotion is from a level of competence to a level of incompetence. - Laurence J. Peter
