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 | Puts forward an own idea for better or new work in the team meeting and asks for a response. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Sets up an own initiative with goal, planning and budget and keeps it running until the result is visible. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Sets up new activities or ventures for the organisation and carries the responsibility for investment and result. 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.
