I wasn’t delving into the detail because in the basic sense yes P-C, but some of us are crossed - HQAC (and some Wing CFAV) P-C and many Sqn CFAV attempting A-A and ending up with A-P (received/perceived as C-P). This is where I’m saying it falls down, because the theory (and Betari Box) suggests that our actions or method of communication should influence the receiver, but it hasn’t. Then you consider the power dynamic and who is best placed to make the first shift for a different outcome… It seems that we are now seeing that shift from the right places and people.
I don’t disagree with a lot of what you just said (I’m just on one side of the same fence that you’re sitting on 
), but will only add that my sense is that, for the majority, lack of acceptance of change is through lack of understanding more than simple rebellion. A communications failure, as you say, but the seemingly embedded (historical) attitude/view of those in leadership positions is that all challenges and questions are rebellious and those asking should be taking everything at face value with a kind “because I said so” demeanour.
On the topic of change:
*and method and transparency of the communication around that change.
I don’t think we’re misaligned in a general sense so could probably just continue going round in circles if we continue much further. Just I have a bias in this that I recognise, while you’re mostly disinterested by virtue of being so fresh and the role you have. Where you’re approaching this from is good, bringing an experienced, outside view that can be impartial and see both sides and take neither position.
