| “The
Set-Up-To-Fail Syndrome is a serious issue. It is damaging both to
organizations and to individuals—that's what makes it unusually
important. The syndrome literally destroys human capital in an
organization with all the associated costs. Even worse, it is very
destructive to the individual who has been set-up to fail.”

| | "This
book is important because it may be the first serious effort toward
demonstrating that effective leadership results from the
relationships between leaders and followers, from those that are
collusively damaging, to those that are collaboratively enriching.
To say that this is a brilliant, breakthrough book is an
under-statement of its significance." | |

Barsoux clearly point to an area that we all need to explore and develop." | |
