Jordan Peterson, while talking about hierarchies stated something to the effect of: There are only two types of hierarchies, ones based on competence and ones based on narcissism. This statement seems to be related to hierarchies based off of narcissism.
Oh, by the way, the rest of the quote was: If you're competent and not a narcissist and you find yourself in a narcissistic hierarchy, get the hell out, because they'll eat you alive. Not a direct quote.
