The description fits behavioral leadership, which focuses on the leader's actions towards their team, specifically balancing task-oriented and relationship-oriented behaviors. Situational leadership would involve adapting styles based on the situation or follower's needs, which is not indicated here. Path-goal leadership involves adjusting leadership behavior to motivate followers, and skills leadership focuses on the capabilities of the leader, neither of which are described in the scenario.
