This sounds very positive -you spotted an ineffective way of communicating and tackled it. You sure had some b*lls to tackle it in such an effective way given the circumstances I think.
IMO you made some useful ground here but you need to be careful not to be too hasty to make hay. Just let it settle for a bit I think.
