SAMPLE Q & A

2. Recently, you promoted your star programmer, Sam, to lead the agile development team. Sam was a
fantastic software coder, and you thought the promotion would mean that he could now share his
expertise with the other development team members. However, you are surprised to learn that the
performance of Sam in his new role is not meeting your expectations
Which empirical rule did you forget while considering the promotion of Sam?
A. Expectancy theory
B. Halo effect
C. Pareto concept
D. Murphy's law
HINT: This management theory is also known as the 'Peter principle.
Question

3. The correct answer is B
The halo effect (also known as the Peter principle) states "In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his/her
level of incompetence." Most project team members are motivated by an opportunity to grow, accomplish, and
apply their professional skills to meet new challenges. Their achievements continuously promote them within
an organization to a certain level until they are unable to perform. Sam might have risen to his incompetency
level, which is what you have likely forgotten to consider while promoting him to lead the development team.
