Dismissive, yes, aggressive ... 'fraid not
Buzz,
I'll happily take the hit for being flippant in response to your question about NLP and fully accept that my position is dismissive of the whole concept. However, aggression is in the eye of the beholder.
Effective teamwork requires self-awareness. I need to be able to stop and reflect on the success or otherwise of an intended interaction. The problem we have at the moment is that CRM training is generic and one size fits all. It wasn't very long ago that regulatory guidance actually stated that 'crm is not about changing personalities'. Well, unfortunately, it is. This means that CRM training should force individuals to confront the effectiveness of their team performance and, if found wanting, they should be helped to change.
We all know of overbearing captains (as an example). We complain about them and they have even been implicated in accidents. Yet why don't we have 'remedial human being' classes for these people? If I fail a check ride I get additional sim training. If I fail to work effectively with colleagues ... nothing.
You can use any acronym-based training quick fix you want but unless we have the time and resources to work at the level of the individual then it is unlikely to have any more effect than what we currently offer.
