This sounds like a lot of "should works". I'm curious whether this is something you've successfully executed. Anyone who is doing a good enough job of perception management is going to be better at managing perceptions from conversations better than you. They've had more practice! You can end up looking like a person who overly cares about individual glory/not being a "team player"/trying to rain on someone else's parade. Especially with C. People can spot disingenuous comments much easier than non-expert comments. And easier way would be to implement something like stand-ups or demo days where each person has to own something. Consistent underperformance should then be easily visible.
