About this book
The Peter Principle is a book that takes a humorous look at productivity. In a nutshell the Peter Principle says that within any hierarchi, if you stay there long enough, you will eventually be promoted to you level of incompetence. I loved that the last chapters tell you how you can avoid being promoted to that level without being fired.
