"The Final Promotion – Why every employee rises to their level of incompetence" creates a deep dive into the "Peter Principle," a satire-turned-theory by Laurence J. Peter. The core idea is terrifyingly simple: If you are good at your job, you get promoted. You keep getting promoted until you reach a job you are bad at. And there you stay, cluttering the hierarchy with incompetence. Management consultant Beatrice Cole analyzes why excellent engineers make terrible managers and why great teachers make poor principals. The book explores the systemic flaw in modern organizations that confuses technical skill with leadership ability. It offers radical solutions, such as "up-or-out" policies, technical tracks that don't involve management, and the courage to refuse a promotion. "The Final Promotion" is a survival guide for the corporate ladder. It explains why your boss is likely incompetent (statistically speaking) and how to avoid the trap of being promoted beyond your own abilities. It challenges the definition of career success as a constant upward climb.
