The idea
When competence is frustrated, the book says, people withdraw and avoid challenges that might expose them, drifting toward what Martin Seligman called learned helplessness.
In practice
An employee repeatedly set up to fail who stops trying, convinced that effort changes nothing.
Where people slip
The book adds that the damage reaches identity: people start doubting they have anything to offer.
