Blake Robert Templeton argues that silence erodes leadership. Avoiding tension doesn't create peace, it postpones conflict. Real leaders confront issues early, calmly, and directly, practicing what he calls speaking truth in love.
We have the guy who's passive, emasculated, and a man who avoids tension loses in authority. Like, silence is not peace, it's delayed conflict. He's trying to actually not have conflict, trying to be a people pleaser. But instead of disappearing, going silent, or calling it keeping the peace, address it early, calmly, and directly. Speaking truth in love.
