📱 eBook en inglés PROMOTED TO FAILURE

Traditional management theory, specifically the Peter Principle, dictates that people are promoted until they reach a level where they are incompetent, and there they stay. However, modern corporate structures have evolved a far more cynical and damaging mechanic known as the Dilbert Principle.
This business critique argues that companies purposefully take their least competent, most unproductive employees and promote them directly into management. Why? To get them out of the workflow. The organization realizes that these individuals are too dangerous to be allowed near the actual code, the physical product, or the actual customers, so they are neutralized by being given a desk and a title.
By examining catastrophic structural failures in software firms and massive manufacturing giants, the book outlines how this psychological defense mechanism destroys morale. When the actual wealth-creators—the highly skilled engineers, designers, and salespeople—realize they are being managed by the office idiot, the entire culture collapses into apathy.
Stop rewarding incompetence to save face. Learn to identify the structural loopholes that allow the Dilbert Principle to thrive and build an HR framework that actually promotes capability.
