I hate this principle. It bases itself on an appeal to nature. It is as if people are born with a hidden upper level of competence that they can never "rise above" while others were born "blessed to be CEO."
The worst part is that people frame it as an argument to avoid promoting. The truth is that people only reach their "level of incompetence" due to arrogance or just by giving up on putting in effort. I have never seen someone humble and curious underperforming for long.
