The Peter Principle Explains Incompetence in Hierarchical Organizations (i.e. Government, Co., etc.)

"People often work hard to reach a certain position, or salary. Once they achieve that, some get lazy. Once people lose their passion, they stop learning. They may fail to keep-up with new developments, which may eventually lead to poor quality of work. In order to protect their comfort zone, they challenge any new idea, or person, that could make their lives uncomfortable. .., Frightened to lose their jobs,Incompetent Managers celebrate obscurity & implement complicated procedures. These procedures only make sense to the manager, and leaves colleagues feeling confused & uninformed. Some may work very hard to make-up for the lack of skills. ... The results are often complex, incompetent corporations that move too slow to innovate."
