Wikipedia: Laurence Johnston Peter (September 16, 1919 – January 12, 1990) was a Canadian educator and "hierarchiologist", best known to the general public for the formulation of the Peter Principle.
He was born in Vancouver, British
Columbia, and began his career as a teacher in Vancouver in 1941. He
received the degree of Doctor of Education from Washington
State University in 1963.
In 1966, Peter moved to California,
where he became an Associate Professor of Education, Director of the
Evelyn Frieden Centre for Prescriptive Teaching, and Coordinator of
Programs for Emotionally Disturbed Children at the University of
Southern California.
He became widely famous in 1968, on the
publication of The Peter Principle, in which he states: "In
a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence
... in time every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is
incompetent to carry out its duties ... Work is accomplished by those
employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence."
Another notable quotation of his is
that the "noblest of all dogs is the hot-dog; it feeds the hand
that bites it."
From 1985 to his death in 1990, Peter
attended and was involved in management of the Kinetic Sculpture
Race in Humboldt County, California. He proposed an award for
the race, titled "The Golden Dinosaur Award" which has been
handed out every year since to the first sculptural machine to
utterly break down immediately after the start.
