What Is a Hierarchical Organization?

Refers to the level formed from the highest direct supervisor to the lowest level of specific staff.

Organization level

The organization level is proportional to the size of the organization. When the size of the organization is constant, the level of the organization is inversely proportional to the extent of management.

Party-level organization

As party members know, every political party is also a hierarchical organization. Obviously, most party members dedicate to the party, and even contribute money for the party's welfare. However, despite this, there is still a very strict class structure in the party and a clear promotion system. Before looking for employees who have shown that Peter's principle applies to salaried employees, readers will now understand that Peter's principle also applies to party-level organizations.

Competing with factories or the military, and in political parties, competence is a necessary condition for escalating the hierarchy. For example, a competent door-to-door candidate is eligible for promotion, and he may be allowed to form a candidate group. Electors who are inefficient or annoying can only continue to knock from door to door to help, but instead make the impression of candidates worse.

An agile flyer dispatcher can be the leader of the flyer dispatch team, while an incompetent flyer dispatcher can only send flyers slowly and clumsily, sometimes stuffing two flyers into the same envelope, Sometimes the envelope is empty, sometimes the leaflets are folded incorrectly, sometimes the leaflets are dropped all over the floor, etc. As long as he continues to work in the party, the situation will remain the same.

In addition, a competent fundraiser Ding Neng was promoted to the nomination committee. Although this person is good at raising funds, he may not be able to judge who is the right legislator and may support incompetent candidates.

Even though most members of the nomination committee can win the job of selecting talents, the candidates they choose will not be based on the potential wisdom of that person's legislation, but on his potential to win elections.

A big step: from candidate to legislator

In the past, election results were determined by public assemblies, so public speaking was a noble art. A speaker who can attract the audience may be nominated by the party. The most eloquent of the candidates is likely to win seats. However, candidates who can attract, please, and incite a large number of people with their voices and postures do not necessarily have the ability to think sharply, to be able to reason and to wisely determine the country's plans.

With the development of electronic technology, political parties may nominate the best image on TV when determining candidates. However, enhancing the attractive image on the TV screen with makeup and lighting does not guarantee that the candidate will be qualified for the job in France. Therefore, no matter whether they are selected by old or new methods, many people are stepped into the office of legislators by candidates, but they actually only reach their incompetent class.
