setting up to fail
Setting up to fail is a phrase denoting a no-win situation designed in such a way that the person in the situation cannot succeed at the task which they have been assigned. It is considered a form of workplace bullying.〔Stambor, Zak.("Bullying stems from fear, apathy." ) ''APA.com''. Originally published in ''Monitor on Psychology''. American Psychological Association. July/August 2006, Vol 37, No. 7. p. 72〕 It is often cited as being perpetrated by management on employees, but there are also instances where the situation is reversed, or the employee self-directed the failure. It also is heavily referenced outside of business in sports, reality television, and other areas where it is felt the statement applies.
==In the workplace==
Setting up to fail is envisioned as a manner in which employees are blamed for failures that are in fact the fault of management - In ''Harvard Business Review'', Manzoni and Barsoux, expanding on their earlier research,〔J. F. Manzoni and Barsoux, J. L.(Set up to Fail: How Bosses Create Their Own Poor Performers." ) 1996. Accessed September 5, 2015.〕 state: "But sometimes—and we would venture to say often—an employee’s poor performance can be blamed largely on his boss." 〔Jean-François Manzoni and Barsoux, Jean-Louis. ("The Set-Up-To-Fail Syndrome" ). ''Harvard Business Review''. Mar-Apr 1998. Accessed September 5, 2015.〕
They also state that "set up to fail syndrome" "describes a dynamic in which employees perceived to be mediocre or weak performers live down to the low expectations their managers have for them."〔 The triggers can be performance-based, or "less specific."〔 They also explain the opposite pattern, where employees set up their bosses for failure, in an article written for ''MIT Sloan Management Review''〔("Are Your Subordinates Setting You Up to Fail?" ). ''MIT Sloan Management Review''. Summer 2009. Accessed September 5, 2015.〕
An opinion column on ''CIO.com'' claimed that being set up for failure can happen because when one is "more qualified for a new job than the individuals with whom you're going to be working, your mere presence can threaten them, they can conspire to make your life miserable."〔Levinson, Meridith. ("Job Survival Tips: What to Do When You're Set Up for Failure, Before You're Fired." ) ''CIO.com'', Oct. 2, 2008.〕
