Rank must not block the warning
In high-consequence work, briefing, challenge, cross-checking, and workload coordination turn technical skill into team safety behavior under pressure.
Premise
Crew Resource Management addresses a failure mode that technical proficiency alone cannot solve: individually competent people can still perform poorly when information is fragmented, authority blocks challenge, workload is uneven, or the team lacks a shared picture of the situation. For executives in high-consequence operations, CRM turns communication and coordination from desirable interpersonal qualities into observable defenses against threat and error.
