In nur 50 Minuten das Peter-Prinzip verstehen
Das von Laurence J. Peter und Raymond Hull in ihrem satirischen Werk The Peter-Principle entwickelte Prinzip basiert auf der Hypothese, dass kompetente Mitarbeiter in einer Organisationsstruktur solange befrdert werden, bis sie einen Posten erreichen, für den sie unfähig sind, von dem sie aber auch nicht mehr abgesetzt werden knnen. Die Hypothesen des Modells werden kontrovers diskutiert, besonders die Aussage, dass die für einen neuen Posten bentigten Kompetenzen nicht von denen des vorherigen Postens abhingen. Allerdings führen auch andere (satirische) Modelle (wie Parkinsons Gesetz oder das Dilbert-Prinzip) in die gleiche Richtung. Zudem konnte das Peter-Prinzip durch eine Computersimulation inzwischen teilweise bestätigt werden.
Nach 50 Minuten knnen Sie:
die Hypothesen des Peter-Prinzips anhand von Beispielen erklären
Unfähigkeit erkennen und Leistung evaluieren
sinnvolle, leistungssteigernde Befrderungsstrategien entwickeln
Anhand praktischer Beispiele wird die Theorie leicht verständlich veranschaulicht. So erhalten Sie einen interessanten und praxisorientierten Überblick über das Wesentliche.
Der Einstieg in ein neues Kapitel Ihrer Unternehmensgeschichte!
