Step Up Against Bad Management
Let's face it: Many managers are out of their depth. The Peter Principle accurately describes how individuals are promoted to their level of incompetence, often hindering organizational progress.
As aspiring leaders, we must take action against ineffective management. Rather than dismissing them, focus on leveraging their experience while guiding them towards a different role. Simultaneously, step up to fill the leadership void.

Transcript:
Let's be honest. Most managers should not be in their position. I love the Peters principle. You are getting promoted to the level where you as a manager are completely incompetent and through your incompetence you're holding up the whole organization. I have seen it and you most probably have seen it as well.
What we need to do as young leaders that want to drive action inside of an organization, we need to fight against bad leadership. We need to enable them to understand that they're holding up the organization. That doesn't mean kicking them out. That means utilizing the strengths they have, which is a lot of experience, but then helping them to transition into another role, while someone else who is the leader.
Can take over and leads the organization to success. Every one of you has the possibility to do that. It just requires you to step up.
