I would love to see this replicated with star academics who become deans and star physicians who run hospitals. But note this study "Our data come from 15,000 professional basketball games and reveal that former star players make the best coaches." https://t.co/F4AE9GlFaL https://t.co/VL77aeXgpg

The Peter Principle is science now: people are promoted for what they did, not what they can do. Top salespeople are more likely to be promoted to sales management- but sales skills don't help you manage. If the best collaborators were promoted instead, all sales would go up 27%! https://t.co/HB2eo4pziA
