«El principio de Peter» is the satirical essay by Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (234 pages, in Spanish).
With irony and everyday examples, the book argues that in hierarchies each worker rises until reaching a position that exceeds their ability, at which point they cease to be effective and hinder others. The authors explain how this dynamic generates bureaucracy and inefficiency, and offer a critical view of professional management.
The subtitle of this edition is «De cómo la incompetencia y la ineptitud nos hacen la vida imposible». Translated by Adolfo Martín from the English original «The Peter Principle» (1969).
For readers of business management and organizational psychology seeking an ironic look at how workplace hierarchies function.
Laurence Johnston Peter was a Canadian educator and "hierarchiologist" who is best known to the general public for the formulation of the Peter principle.
