Multiple exercises, multiple assessors, dimension-wise scoring.
This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | States in own words where the team wants to stand in a year and which work belongs to that. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Connects trends in market and profession into a picture for the own team and tests it with colleagues. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Formulates a multi-year vision for the whole organisation, underpins it with scenarios and uses it as a test for investments. 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.
