I am the lead barista at a local coffee shop managing four staff. I love to chat with them regularly, work with them on schedules that fit their needs, and work to develop camaraderie amongst all. I do assign tasks and hold them accountable for the work, but that is my secondary concern. My behavior would plot on the Blake & Mouton Leadership Grid at what point?

The lead barista's primary concern is building relationships with their staff, leading to a moderately high relationship rating. While they do assign tasks and hold their staff accountable, it is secondary and not the main focus, leading to a moderately low task rating. Therefore, the correct option is D, moderately low task; moderately high relationship.
