"The Peter Principle has cosmic implications."
--New York Times
Back in 1969, Lawrence J. Peter created a cultural phenomenon with his
brilliant, outrageous, hilarious, and all-too-true treatise on business
and life, The Peter Principle--and his words and theories are as true
today as they were then. By posing--and answering--the eternal question,
"Why do things always go wrong?" Peter explores the incompetence that
runs so rampant through our society, our workplace, and our world in an
outrageously funny yet honest and eye-opening manner. With a new
foreword by Robert I. Sutton, bestselling author of The No Asshole
Rule, this twenty-first century edition of Peter's classic is set to
shake up the business world all over again.
