Delete Goals Assigned by Former Leaders

Summary:

We have identified a situation where a goal assigned by a previous leader cannot be deleted by the new leader after a leadership change. This becomes an issue when the goal carries over into the annual performance review.

Has anyone else encountered this scenario? What options exist—either system-based or operational—to address these cases effectively?

Thank you for sharing any insights or best practices.
