Ever wondered how people manage to rise through the ranks despite their glaring incompetence? This week we are dishing out some hilarious yet insightful takes on the curious phenomenon of "failing up" in corporate America.
We dive headfirst into the baffling world of corporate hierarchies, sharing juicy stories of leaders who dodge accountability and clueless managers who somehow keep getting promoted. We dissect a particularly head-scratching scenario involving a leader who made a colossal blunder but left the fallout to an unlucky subordinate. From the Peter Principle to inadequate training programs, we expose the cracks in the system that allow underqualified individuals to ascend to their level of incompetence.
Our conversation shifts gears as we discuss what effective management should look like, spotlighting both the empathetic and authoritative aspects of the role. With personal anecdotes and contrasting corporate training programs like those at Electronic Arts, we stress the importance of robust internal training over external consultants.
