About Laurence J. Peter
Laurence J. Peter (1919-1990) was a Canadian educator and author best known for his humorous and insightful work on organizational hierarchies, particularly through his influential book, "The Peter Principle," published in 1969. In this book, he articulated the idea that individuals in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence," meaning they are promoted until they can no longer effectively perform their roles. Peter's work has had a lasting impact on management theory and has become a classic reference in discussions about workplace dynamics and organizational structures.
