Landflap, I'm just wondering, did this outburst lead you to examine your own style of leadership? I mean that's what we're talking about here - leadership. And if so, what did you learn? I'm genuinely interested btw - this isn't a dig at you.
Every Captain has the right to stamp his own style on the flight deck and as far as I can tell there is nothing in the CRM principles that bypasses the Captain's right to Command.
I'm not for one second saying this is you, but there are a lot of people who bash CRM because they don't understand what it is trying to achieve. As far as I am concerned it is about the Captain using what he has available to him to achieve the best outcome. You get the best out of people by motivating them to do well for you. That is good leadership and that is what CRM is about.
