It's much easier...

GA is a normal maneuver.
It's just like a takeoff.
Power , pull, gear up.

The problem I see is that tons of pilots, instructors pilots, check airmen, see it as a an " emergency procedure" to escape of the unknown or near disaster.
This triggers the normal response of the trainee( during training fase or recurrent) that all has to be done in a rush , expediuos and impressive way.
Then ATC with their stupid habit to give new instructions,ask the reason of the GA,combined with the stupid habit of responding to stupid questions right away by PF...
Think about the take off.
Step by step in a calm manner , no rush,no to much taking, no ATC intervention...PF, PM FOUCUSED ON THE MANOUVER. GA IS JUST LIKE A TAKEOFF AND SHOULD BE PERFORMED THE SAME WAY AND PHILOSOPHY !
Aviate Navigate Comunicate.
And of course pilots need to learn to fly( newies) and old ones practice and recover their lost skills.
Thousand of procedures and automation can change , but with the basic fundamentals not in place, another accident is waiting to happen again, unfortunately.
