I think the general approach is the right one - but I can say, I personally find it extremely annoying if superiors talk like this. For me it comes across as wanting to play mind games or leaving me with an unclear state of responsibility.

By all means, give me more autonomy to choose tasks to work on and also expect a good justification from me. But at the end, I'd like at least clear feedback if my proposal was accepted and we should be moving in that direction (and I should be getting to work) or not.
