Explain the concept of CRM, TEM, and SMS. I think you did an amazing job describing the concepts of CRM, TEM, and SMS. I like how you mentioned the safety emphasis of the programs, yet you did not neglect to mention that each program is also focused on improving human performance. I think safety programs either do not incorporate the human performance aspect, or they lose sight of the human performance through dogmatic emphasis on the safety aspect of the program. I also liked how you highlighted the PAVE and IMSAFE preflight checklists, too many times safety programs do not get the credit for conceiving tools that we use every day.

Also, I found it refreshing that you decided to highlight a tool that would allow leaders to mentor/train their teams (the crawl, walk, run technique). Integrate a just culture
