Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Aligns own activities with one direct colleague and confirms who picks up which task and when.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Organises consultation between the parties in a shared process, records agreements and actively tracks whether these are met.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Sets up the coordination structure between departments or chain partners and decides which meetings, roles and information flows the organisation uses as standard.
sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
