Interesting that I've just listened to a podcast about the Peter principle. Everybody ends up getting the position at which they are incompetent. I certainly feel incompetent, and I'm at the entry level.
Oh, I'm sorry! As you predicted, I was very confused! I thought you were the same person.

I am reading the Peter Principle, interesting that you brought it up. Yes, I have experienced that myself, where people rise to their own level of incompetence. I don't feel like I've been in that position yet, but I also know my limits and don't aspire to be in positions that I feel I'm in over my head. But several managers I've had in my career have been in well over their heads and not known how to manage teams or have any experience doing that particular job. I think the Peter Principle should be more widely taught for sure.
