The Peter Principle tells you that you get promoted to your level of incompetence but The Simon Principle tells you to train up so you are competent when you are promoted.

In 1969 Laurence J Peter published 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦 a phenomenon that blights many businesses.

Someone who is good at their job will be promoted. If they are incompetent at that job, they will remain in that position and not be promoted further. They may then be known as being a terrible in their new position and end up stagnating, having once been known as exemplary in an earlier role.

If they are competent in their new role, they will be promoted again and again until they finally, and somewhat inevitably, reach the point where they are incompetent and they too will stagnate.

The resulting outcome, of course, is that businesses are by and large populated by people who are incompetent at their job and who are also frustrated and stagnant.

However, it can be avoided.

One needs to learn new skills and competencies if one is to take on new roles. However, since people are often promoted before they have the requisite skills for their new job since they are rising through the ranks by virtue of skills for a previous role, they are then ill equipped to carry out the next stage effectively.

It stands to reason therefore that equipping people with the right skills before they are promoted would eradicate the Peter Principle and result in the most competent people in the appropriate job. This is the Simon Principle.

This message is at the heart of Spotify’s value system and if becoming one of the world’s largest companies was the vision, then the culture has certainly helped get it there.

Daniel Ek, founder and CEO of Spotify, understands the importance of creating a meaningful value system that reflects his own personal principles.

Ek wrote: “I built a company based on a core set of values: innovation, passion, collaboration, transparency, and fairness. These values drive how we work with the creative community and how we treat our users. They’re why we’re committed to a diverse workforce in an open, trusting company culture.”

Today those five values remain, and every employee understands the roots of Ek’s value systems and is expected to reflect these in their own work.

Unfortunately, the Spotify experience is not easily replicated.

It is critical that a business formulates a set of values that come intrinsically from the founders themselves. It must resonate from management down to the most junior employee.

A value system that is relevant and relatable to the entire workforce can then translate to customers, which is of course good for business.

Happy World Gratitude Day and it’s also International Week of Happiness at Work.

Gratitude is essential for physical and mental health. In business we can express gratitude by recognising specific people and their actions that have contributed to the success of the organisation. In particular in over the last 18 months through challenging circumstances it’s important to take time out to acknowledge others and by simply saying ‘thank you’ you can help employees feel more positive and engaged.

Success in business and with startups in particular, comes from a cohesive leadership that empowers its staff and acknowledges the part that each employee plays in the overall success of the business.

As Michelle Obama said ‘so many people had a hand in our success’.

What are you grateful for today? 💫

Within the workplace, our list highlights most of the major components of providing a psychologically safe environment.

1. People are always treated respectfully and politely with no raised voices or verbal abuse

2. That there is a safe place to express upset or concern with any other members of the organisation

3. There is an appropriate process for receiving criticism of either one’s work or attitude

4. There is an open and transparent way to deal with any complaints

5. There is a code of conduct at work either explicit or implicit

6. That there is appropriate support to deal with any psychological-emotional issues

7. There is training to deal with any significant emotional psychological issue in difficult situations e.g. within customer support

8. Appropriate diversity and discrimination policies in the workplace

Early, mid and late transition stages that founders must navigate from our experience of coaching founders through business growth cycles…

Early rounds of funding
👉🏼 You’ll need to prove product market fit and create clients that will champion you. If 70% of start-ups fail, and they do, 90% of those failures happen here - this is make or break between companies failing and succeeding.

Middle stage funding
👉🏼 This is all about creating a scalable revenue system and starting to put effective systems internally in place for communication and deliverability. Many co-founders lack specialist knowledge and ability to continue in their chosen role so part ways with the business.

Later rounds
👉🏼 Now you need to recreate the original system in multiple segments or multiple locations, perhaps going global. Sophisticated integration processes are required to enable large-scale growth. This is when you need to think whether you want a liquidity deal/exit (you enjoy being an entrepreneur foremost) or you want to be a professional CEO of a large business.

Interested to hear if these resonate with your experience - drop a 👍🏼 in the comments.
