JAA countries are now introducing more CRM markers into the OPC/LPC assesments. Included are such things as crew communication and interaction as well as leadership and listening /reasoning skills. If you add in a degree of personal presentation, then it sounds very similar to what you are describing.
To be honest I cannot see why this should be a problem for most people. Working as a team leader/member, and good communication skills with the purser and eveyone else shouldn't be a challenge that many proficient pilots, and certainly Captains, should be anything less than "good" at. As we all know there is far more to the job than just the technical aspects.
