A manager has a small team of employees, but each individual is self-motivated and could be termed a "high achiever." The manager has been given a particularly difficult assignment. Even for a high achiever, the probability that this job can be completed by one individual by the required deadline is low. Select the best course for the audit manager.

Assign one individual since high achievers thrive on high risks.

Assign two employees to moderate the risk of failure.

Assign all employees to ensure the risk of failure is low

Ask company management to cancel the job

Explanation:

High achievers wish to do something better than it has been done before. According to McClelland’s theory of needs, high achievers thrive when the job provides for personal responsibility, feedback, and moderate risks. They avoid very easy or very difficult tasks, and they do not like to succeed by chance. Accordingly, one high achiever should not be assigned a job when the probability of its successful completion is very low.
