Revelation Six's video: Running The World On The Peter Principle

A couple weeks ago, when we were going through the local Costco, I found Mrs. Little standing at the book table. A dangerous thing. She picked up Thomas Sowell’s book on Economics – translated into Chinese. But, as I looked around the table, I saw ‘The Peter Principle’, and I told her that The Peter Principle is more important than the book on economics. So, she got both. And yes, Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy, by Thomas Sowell, is a great book to read, if you want to learn about economics. Again, the more important book is The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong by Dr. Laurence J Peter and Raymond Hull. The observations in that book speak more to how the world actually runs, than any book on economics. The Peter Principle basically says that people get promoted to their level of incompetence. Someone who is a great clerk will often get promoted to middle manager. If she’s a reasonably good manager, she’ll get promoted to department head. If she keeps doing a reasonably good job, she’ll keep getting promoted until she is unable to do her job. If she turns out to be a terrible head of her department, she’ll stop getting promotions. But, she’ll stay on as the head of her department and continue making horrible decisions. That’s how organizations work. Everyone who is good at an entry-level position, gets promoted. If they do well at the mid-level position, they get another promotion. Eventually, they get promoted to a job that they just aren’t able to do. The Key Takeaway The main thing that you need to understand is that large organizations always Always ALWAYS fail. And, a big part of this failure is due to the promotion of good people to positions that they just cannot handle. And, since more and more of the world is being managed by big organizations… the world will continue to be horribly horribly mismanaged. ———————————— 2020 WON https://omegashock.com/2020/12/26/2020-won/ MP3 AUDIO: https://www.omegashock.com/shockcast/2021/21-01-04-2020-won-and-2021-where-weve-been-and-where-were-going.mp3 ———————————— HELP KEEP OMEGA SHOCK ALIVE https://paypal.me/omegashock For those with credit card: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=WZUCJAFE49NLU&item_name=To+warn+and+inform+the+Body+of+Christ.¤cy_code=USD&source=url Thank you so much for helping this ministry continue.
