| Summary: | "Sometimes it's easy to see how some leaders are destructive to those they lead. Poor leaders regularly impede potential, damage confidence, and ruin good people. But most leaders aren't so extreme, making their faults less obvious. Here's what happens: an employee falters by missing a deadline or bombing a presentation, so the supervisor turns to micromanagement. But the more this manager "helps," the worse the employee performs." While it may seem that the employee is failing in spite of the boss's efforts, it turns out the opposite is true. The manager's behavior and attitude are setting up the employee to fail." "This book gives that pnenomenon a name: The Set-Up-to Fail Syndrome. After ten years of studying boss-subordinate relationships, leadership experts Jean-Francois Manzoni and Jean-Louis Barsoux that a manager's over-attention to poorly performing employees causes stifled self-confidence, and ultimately, unrealized employee potential. Don't be a set-up-to-fail manager, coach, or teacher. Learn how to stop people from succumbing to the undertow of expectations, and start empowering and encouraging them to thrive.
