Word for the Day: Wednesday, August 22, 2012

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  A good book, The Peter Principle, discusses how you can be competent in a job, until one too many promotions (and how people in their first, less competent position tend to stay there). Of course, there appears to be a problem:  This book was published in 1969.  Now, in more recent times, few companies promote from within, instead hiring from outside.
