Build the Organization's Capacity to Catch Compensating Feedback
An organization that spots compensating feedback without one leader in the room keeps the capability for years. A private diagnostic skill vanishes the moment you are busy or gone. Review outcomes on the timescale the loop runs on, because a cadence shorter than the delay reports the early win and never the later fade. Keep a record of fixes that did not stick, give the team the words to flag the pattern, and build the pushback check into how interventions get approved so no proposal skips it.

Measurable Behaviors
Behaviors are optimized to be directly observable for evidence-based skill tracking.
Audit standing policies for loops being quietly compensated
Reviews existing policies on a regular cadence to surface a standing effort whose intended effect is being quietly canceled.
Build the compensating-feedback check into how the organization designs interventions
Embeds the pushback check as a required step in how proposals get approved, so it runs without prompting.
Give the team the language to flag the pattern themselves
Teaches the team to name compensating feedback from shared examples so they raise it unprompted in later discussions.
Keep a record of fixes that did not stick
Logs each fix that faded, what was tried and how it returned, so compensating patterns stay visible across attempts.
Set a review cadence matched to the loop's delay
Schedules outcome reviews on the timescale the loop runs on so the later fade shows, not just the early win.

What an Organization That Catches the Pattern Looks Like
Outcome reviews run on the loop's delay, not the default calendar, and a maintained record makes fading fixes visible across attempts. The team names compensating feedback unprompted, and standing policies get audited for effects being quietly canceled. The pushback check is embedded in how new proposals are reviewed, so the diagnostic runs without you.
