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.
Good example, leadership styles vary. Every leader needs to find their most effective ways while keeping in mind the need to adjust the style sometimes to meet the employee where they are.
I disagree with "not saying a word". I do agree with not losing your cool. Good leaders are clear. And they make their expectations clear in direct and explain the why behind their expectations.

Could someone who is mute be a great leader?
Of course! But that won't stop me from letting words muck up my leadership :)
