Multiple raters around the person rate behaviour against behavioural anchors.

This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.

Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Helps a colleague who explicitly asks for it and passes on the information that this colleague needs.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Notices that a colleague is stuck, offers help and temporarily takes over tasks without letting own work slip.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Organises forms of mutual support across the organisation, such as knowledge sharing and backup cover, and addresses others on helpful behaviour.
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.

Underlying skills

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
