Peter created a cultural phenomenon with his brilliant, outrageous, hilarious, and all-too-true treatise on business and life, \u003cem\u003eThe Peter Principle\u003c\/em\u003e--and his words and theories are as true today as they were then. By posing--and answering--the eternal question, \"Why do things always go wrong?\" Peter explores the incompetence that runs so rampant through our society, our workplace, and our world in an outrageously funny yet honest and eye-opening manner. With a new foreword by Robert I. Sutton, bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eThe No Asshole Rule\u003c\/em\u003e, this twenty-first century edition of Peter's classic is set to shake up the business world all over again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic #1 \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller that answers the age-old question\u003cbr\u003eWhy is incompetence so maddeningly rampant and so vexingly triumphant?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Peter Principle, the eponymous law Dr. Laurence J. Peter coined, explains that everyone in a hierarchy--from the office intern to the CEO, from the low-level civil servant to a nation's president--will inevitably rise to his or her level of incompetence. Dr. Peter explains why incompetence is at the root of everything we endeavor to do--why schools bestow ignorance, why governments condone anarchy, why courts dispense injustice, why prosperity causes unhappiness, and why utopian plans never generate utopias.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the wit of Mark Twain, the psychological acuity of Sigmund Freud, and the theoretical impact of Isaac Newton, Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull's \u003cem\u003eThe Peter Principle\u003c\/em\u003e brilliantly explains how incompetence and its accompanying symptoms, syndromes, and remedies define the world and the work we do in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 7.32 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 13, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724754128959,"sku":"9780062092069","price":21.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/412ed21290956b065eb52dba08607564_9e42676d-81ca-4980-b816-e23100855059.webp?v=1765103804","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-peter-principle-why-things-always-go-wrong-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
