Laurence J. Peter
Laurence J. Peter was a Canadian educator and hierarchiologist best known for developing the Peter Principle.
Born in 1919 in Vancouver, he worked as a teacher and professor before publishing his famous book in 1969.
Peter's work focused on organizational behavior and management theory, particularly the tendency for employees to be promoted to their level of incompetence.
His principle gained widespread recognition and influenced business thinking.
Peter authored several other books on education and management, including "The Peter Prescription" and "The Peter Plan." He continued to write and lecture on his ideas until his death in 1990.
Peter's work remains influential in discussions of workplace dynamics and career progression.
