Success Unlimited has published only three or four books, two or three of them written by Tim Field.[1] "Success Unlimited was established in 1994 by Tim Field."[2] Therefore, this book is self-published and per WP:SPS it should not be used as a general reference.

Reginald Perrin tried to set himself up to fail by starting a shop called Grot, which only sold useless goods.
Not at first; starting the shop was a cynical and desperate attempt to support himself. It's only a few years later that he tries to sabotage the Grot empire by hiring idiots (who all prove to be gifted). —Tamfang (talk) 09:36, 10 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm rewriting this from scratch. Manzoni is a noted researcher on this topic, having published eight books and innumerable articles on exactly this phenomenon in business, and yet we're citing psych data from pop paperbacks and things that predate the term? This article needs to be a lot better. MSJapan (talk) 22:38, 5 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I would like to suggest that the article be renamed to something along the lines of Set up for failure or something similar. In common parlance, a victim is "set up to fail", but not "setting up to fail" (ungrammatical). Further, the perpetrator "sets someone up for failure". In other words, the present tense "set" seems more grammatically appropriate than present perfect "setting", as this implies a continuing effort which seems beyond the scope of interest. As it stands, the titles seems like a confusion of point-of-view and verb tense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.139.254.117 (talk) 19:02, 8 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

The section on the 9/11 Commission itself being set up to fail does not seem to be an example of what the article is about since it does not seem to be an example of targeting or bullying individuals to hurt their careers. IMO. PopSci (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
