Discipline and keeping commitments

Sticks to agreements, procedures and commitments even without supervision, and reports in good time when a commitment turns out to be unachievable.

How hrmforce measures this

Self-report of behavioural preferences. At hrmforce the Big Fifty and the 15PF.

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

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Arrives at the agreed time with the agreed work and reports any delay to the supervisor. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Commits only to what is feasible, tracks own commitments and informs those involved as soon as a deadline comes under pressure. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Anchors the standard for reliable follow through in working agreements and addresses anyone at any level who lets that standard slip. 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.

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