Yes. As a leader you are supposed to control your body language because people notice it and speculate, who do u see with smile and who with the straight face. Whose ideas you prefer and who has to face the music. 

The more you grow, the more you need to be careful because all your movements, be it hands, arms, eyes produce signals and a leader must know how to use them

Before you Utter a single word, your looks your gestures do the work for you, they almost give the vague idea to some one that what kind of a person you are, And as a leader it is understood that your body language is as important as your words in leading your team.

Simply i just want to put an example how important generally body language is, When you appear for any interview, the first thing that the person their to examine you, will notice your body language, that How you enter the room, how you do your greetings, how you take your Chair, and even how you sit on it, whether you are nervous or confident, so before you even say a word he already had assumed about your personality by your body language. 

So that example proves a point that how critical is body language and being a leader its almost as important as your knowledge and experience about the job, It gives the idea that how confident and positive you are in leading your team mates.

Body language is the management of time, space, appearance, posture, gesture, touch, expression, eye contact, and vocal prosody.

As such, nonverbal communication is a key part of your effectiveness as a manager. From a body language perspective, effective managers send two sets of signals. Both are very important, but they are each more important under certain circumstances.

For example, powerful people sit, stand, walk and gesture in ways that exude confidence, competence and status.

Body language is a form of communication between peers and colleagues in a working environment, therefore it has a major impact on the way people perceive your existence within the business. A team leader should be approachable in order to allow others to easily form a good working relationship without hesitation or limitation. They should show leniency towards their colleagues through their gestures and body language but also reinforce the rules and remind them of their position. As communication is vital within a business so is the way communication is portrayed and perceived.
