ok..someone explained to me in this way...


Failing upwards is when buddies in the corporate ladder help their buddies out. Meaning the best candidate for a job position is not necessarily qualified.

A good example of failing upwards would be Michael D. Brown..."Heck of a job Brownie.."
Brown was the "Judges and Stewards Commissioner for the International Arabian Horse Association" nothing in his background would qualify him to be the head of F.E.M.A. He got that position because he was a good friend Joe Allbaugh.

Anyway, I think this culture of failing upwards has ruined America.
