"Injelitance"

C. Northcote Parkinson (whence Parkinson's Law, or "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion") coined another term that I just came across. "Injelitance: The rise to authority of individuals with unusually high combinations of incompetence and jealousy [toward the more competent]." Astute guy, that Parkinson.
