What is it about?
This article provides an alternative explanation of promotion within an organization based on employee experience. The research presented here demonstrates that the role inhabited by an employee greatly influences their perspective, which may change based on their location within an organizational hierarchy. In other words, people’s horizons depend on their place within that hierarchy.

Why is it important?
People often associate ‘incompetence’ only with job-related tasks or skill competence, but near the top of hierarchies it is more about vision. Incompetence has many sources. One source is a person’s failure to see the big or bigger picture as they move up the ladder.
Perspectives
This article offers a new principle, ‘the higher the position, the broader the view’, as a positive, productive perspective on promotion in contrast to the Peter Principle, ‘every employee tends to rise to his/her level of incompetence in a hierarchy’.
