  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.
