“Promoted Beyond Your Competency” is a term frequently used in the business world to describe someone who has been unduly elevated past the point of their training, skill and ability to succeed in the elevated role. Often do to nepotism, or incompetence in the role that brought about the elevation.
Take for example, moving someone from the role of youth pastor, oft considered an entry level position in larger churches, to Executive Vice President of Football Operations for one of the 32 franchises in the largest sport in the United States.
When you add in what seems to be a very self-serving agenda, multiple reports of backhanded behavior and a wide variety of highly respected individuals calling that person out, you might just have the Houston Texan’s most publicly vilified personality, Jack Easterby.
