Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phrase "tyranny of the urgent" refers to the tendency of daily pressing matters to take priority over important long-term planning. This can result in planning being pushed aside and ultimately forgotten. Parkinson's law of planning and Murphy's law of strategic action are not directly related to this concept. The Peter principle refers to an organizational theory regarding employee promotions.
