Is it true that Introverted leaders perform as well as extroverted leaders?

Unclear. Several sources suggest introverted leaders can be effective and that introverted traits do not harm follower outcomes, but none directly compares introverted and extroverted leaders' performance, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim.
