i had a spectacularly inarticulate moment recently trying to recall a management concept i read about a while back. by chance, i came across it today, so note to self… the Peter Principle is the theory you’re looking for. “managers rise to the level of their incompetence”, or “anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it fails”.
