The source is an excerpt from a book titled "The Peter Principle," which discusses the concept that employees in hierarchical organizations tend to be promoted to their level of incompetence. The book is presented in a satirical tone, using humorous anecdotes and fictional characters to illustrate the principle. The excerpt includes forewords from the book's authors, Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull, as well as a forward written by Robert I. Sutton who reflects on how the book has impacted him personally. Sutton also discusses how the book's central ideas have been supported by modern behavioral science research.
