There is no solution to the Peter Principle. That's actually the thesis of the book. I'd argue that management that can't promote from within has likely already reached the position of their incompetence as well. There are lots of reasons and every situation varies, but my experience is that the reason people don't get promoted has way more to do with bad management than bad potential managers in the pool.
