This just leads to people rising to their level of incompetence rather than having an effective manager. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle I've always like the anecdote taken from Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people": hire the person who is the best manager, but don't neglect those who excel in their roles. Giving them a promotion of a new title with salary adjustment that reflects their value to the company, while maintaining their current responsibilities, keeps everybody happy.
