The Peter principle is a concept in management theory formulated by Laurence J. Peter in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate’s performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Thus, employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer perform effectively, and “managers rise to the level of their incompetence.”

He surpassed his level of competence when he quit his student/community organizer job and became a Con Law instructor.
He’s completely out of his depth, except as a sock puppet for others, and they’re stumped now.
I read the book and agreed with 100% of your post!
Obama missed Clint in “Magnum Force”!
“A man’s got to know his limitations.” .
