Multiple exercises, multiple assessors, dimension-wise scoring.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Tells colleagues in own words which team goal lies behind an assignment and why that assignment matters now. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Discusses with each team member how their tasks contribute to department goals and checks whether that connection is understood. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Brings the organisational course alive for every layer in language fitting each audience and ensures managers tell the same story. 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.
