The Peter Principle

We live in times of seemingly unending progress - and yet somehow things still always go wrong. Here’s why!

I love this film’s irreverent tone and the way music and editing combine to create something that feels farcical. I had great fun trawling archives of old government films to find the perfect examples of mid-century management culture.

I hear this film is sometimes used in management training sessions around the world!
