When incompetent people get promoted and start taking decisions which can turn catastrophic nations and organizations doom. Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1969 book The Peter Principle, describe that in a hierarchy every person/employee tends to rise to their level of incompetence. And their incompetence can cause chaos. They get promoted mainly due to their seniority (number of years in service) or sometimes earlier because of favoritism/ nepotism.
