Yes, I also applaud this attitude. Taking decisive action not only saves
time / energy arguing back and forth, it also boosts morale and gives a
sense of direction. Keeping silent about things hurts morale because it
can be (wrongly) perceived as ignoring the issue, being indecisive, or
deliberately stonewalling. Any feedback is better than silence, even if
it's a "no".
