Speak Softly And Carry A Big Stick

Big Stick policy, in American history, is a policy popularized by US President Theodore Roosevelt that asserted U.S. domination.

A soft voice makes people feel relaxed and open. It conveys your love, respect, and gratitude. 

This makes it easier for you to share your opinions and also for them to improve on the feedback. Your job is to uplift the people around you, and being soft-spoken voice does just that.

Can a soft person be a leader?

A soft-spoken person can exhibit prime leadership material in several important ways: By listening more, and not just speaking.

“The more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control… Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.”
