A) If employees are only superficially committed to the goal, it will probably not be achieved.
B) If employees do not believe it is possible to achieve a goal, it is probably because the goal is too vague.
C) If employees are skeptical that a goal can be reached, it is because they do not know how their performance will be measured.
