Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Blake and Mouton Leadership Grid plots leadership styles along two axes: concern for people (relationship) and concern for production (task). Your behavior, focusing heavily on tasks with minimal engagement in personal or relational dialogue with your staff, aligns with a very high task orientation and a very low relationship orientation. This places you at the "very high task; very low relationship" point on the grid.
