Restaurateur Danny Meyer learned an important insight early in his career: Getting mad about the low standards held by his staff was not a pathway to raising them. When his standards of excellence were ignored by his staff, Meyer learned to persistently show them the way he wanted things done. He chose not to lose composure or bemoan people who didn’t sweat the details. But it wasn’t easy.

Yes. We like the idea of not operating by style at all, Greg. Especially for those looking to develop their skills as an excellent leader, we find it’s best to not think of any one style as something to aspire to.

How about
“Without needing to say a word?”
Could someone who is mute be a great leader?
Of course! But that won't stop me from letting words muck up my leadership :)
