Not only does the Peter principle generally show more incompetence the higher up a structure you move, but the outsized influence those positions have make for a very noticeably higher level of “things fucked up by incompetence“ coming from the C suite compared to the rest of the structure.

There’s definitely plenty of incompetence regardless. But I’ve never seen a company where the incompetence was more noteworthy in the cog positions than “leadership”.
