What does Parkinson's law teach us?Parkinson, by studying the evolution of the British navy during the first half of the 20th century, noted an inflation over time of non-directly productive personnel. Parkinson's law is a direct consequence of social ambition: to rise in the social hierarchy, the majority of people want to become 'leaders', that is to say command instead of doing things directly.
