Multiple raters around the person rate behaviour against behavioural anchors.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Asks for feedback on own work and thanks colleagues for critical remarks without becoming defensive. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Builds short evaluations in after projects and addresses team members who avoid feedback or make it personal. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Embeds learning and safe error reporting in the policy, training and review cycle of the organisation and measures the effect. 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.
