Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Takes part in an evaluation and names one thing that went well and one that could improve. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Leads a team evaluation, ensures all participants get to speak and records concrete improvement agreements with owners. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Introduces a reflection method across several teams, trains facilitators and uses the outcomes to improve working methods in the organisation. 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.
