ability to approve Goals as an HR specialist

Summary

we don't have the ability to approve Goals as an HR specialist

Does anyone know how to approve Goals as an HR specialist?  We must have disabled that functionality but it appears we need it. None of us can find where it is.  We're finding that our employees are creating goals then deciding they don't want the goal.  The goal is in a pending state waiting for it to get approved.  We can't delete the goal until the goal is approved.  Can't we login as HR Admin's or HR Specialists and approve the goal someone so we can delete it?
