The classic MBO (Management by Objectives) approach outlined by Peter Drucker involves employees and managers jointly setting goals for the employee based on the strategic goals of the organization. This approach empowers employees to participate in goal setting and take ownership of their work, while also aligning their goals with the overall objectives of the organization. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that employees set their own goals, which may not be aligned with the organization's goals. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that managers set goals for employees without their input or buy-in, which may not be as motivating or effective. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that promotions are contingent on "Make or Break Opportunities" rather than achieving mutually agreed upon goals.
