Good grammar matters! Whether in writing or speaking, poor grammar will be a mark against you. If you know you suffer from poor grammar in either capacity you should immediately find someone, even if you have to hire them, to coach you ruthlessly until you overcome this deficit.
If you aren't sure, ask a few people you work with if they ever notice you having trouble with your verb/subject agreements or use of pronouns when you are speaking. Have them be brutally honest with you. If not, great, however, if you get even one comment take it as the tip of an iceberg and attack this problem NOW.
Effective communication is the hallmark of leadership. Poor grammar detracts from the message and lessens credibility in the speaker. I know, that's not fair. Have you heard? Life is not fair. Get over it and get on with correcting this problem.
It's not rocket science - to lead you have to be able to communicate clearly without glaring grammatical errors.
