'They think before they speak' | Are introverted leaders as effective as their extroverted peers?

In a capitalist society, the world of business has long valued 'masculine' traits and with this, extroverted characteristics.

It's an accepted notion in our society that individuals who are outgoing, have high self-esteem, are good at public speaking, and are confident, are more likely than others to succeed.

Introverts on the other hand, are characterised as individuals who like spending time on their own, are internally reflective, not necessarily attracted to large social events, and might be more soft or empathetic than their extroverted counterparts.

In the working world, we have often associated extroverted attributes with someone who can competently lead a team. But many criticise this idea as outdated, and contest that any type of person, extroverted or introverted, is capable of leading a team as effectively as one another. Can introverts be just as effective leaders?
