Be a decisive leader Generally, employees are unable to make decisions themselves and may look to their leader or manager, expecting a decisive action when needed. Being a leader, if you are unable to make decisive actions, it can lead to negative performances and absenteeism. A feedback can serve better It may not be a positive one, but a genuine and timely feedback can be a real booster in employees' morale. Don't make needless praise or rebuke, but ponder over how the feedback can be beneficial for the employees and then write a formal feedback letter. It will help them graph their future actions accordingly.
