Yolanda Sparks is a leader who believes strongly in the relationship-oriented approach to leadership.
 
  Over the years, the use of this style has meant mostly good things for her company, Sandstone, Inc Some of her subordinates, however, have complained about her leadership style in anonymous questionnaires routinely filled out by employees. Which of the following is MOST LIKELY a complaint that one of her employees has put in an anonymous questionnaire?

  B) Yolanda's leadership approach tends to focus a bit too much on the numbers and the bottom line. She has always been decent to us, but her eyes never leave the productivity reports.
  C) Yolanda's approach to leadership is very inconsistent. We never know whether or not she will be friendly on one day or very hard and demanding on the next. She wavers too much between what she thinks is important for the workers to be focused on.
