I haven't read the NVC book, but I've read /about/ it. It sounds like it's a great technique for peers, but I'm very glad you brought up that it can come across condescending and manipulative when there's a power differential. Since I often hear this brought up as a management technique and in business settings I'm surprised that part isn't discussed more. Your's (and tangentially the parent) is the only comment I've seen so far mentioning it.
