Which strategy is the "winner-takes-all" approach with strong task orientation and little regard for relationships?

• A. CNS
• B. Evade Strategy
• C. Comply Strategy
• D. Insist Strategy

Answer: (D)

This item is testing a strategy that pushes for your own solution with aggressive control, focusing on the task and showing little concern for maintaining good relationships. That is the Insist Strategy. It embodies a winner-takes-all mindset: you press to win the decision and secure the outcome you want, often using authority or leverage to enforce your position. It’s most fitting when outcomes matter more than how you and others get along, or when you have clear power to impose your solution.

Other approaches in this framing would either avoid confrontation, or prioritize harmony and relationship maintenance, or present a different stance that doesn’t match the described high-task, low-relationship emphasis.
