Structural Definition: The measurable symmetry of reinforcement signals emitted by all leadership nodes within an execution mesh, regardless of geography or shift.
Modeled Implications: The absence of consistency creates ‘Supervisor Drift,’ where employees learn to follow the specific leader’s bias rather than the institutional standard.
Systemic Mechanics (The LES Lens): Analyzed as a ‘Signal Integrity’ metric in the SYSTEM domain. It reduces the ‘Lottery’ effect of front-line management quality.
Observed Variance Pattern: Vastly different attrition and quality metrics between teams that are nominally performing the same task under the same strategy.
Semantic Mesh Anchors: Supervisor Drift, Accountability Congruence, Governance Integrity.
Research Context: Framed by W. Edwards Deming (Systems and Variation) as a foundational element in the degree of symmetry in leadership signaling across nodes.
