Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided States after a shared task what a colleague did well and gives a concrete example with it.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Discusses unwanted behaviour with the person concerned, describes fact, effect and request, and agrees on a follow-up.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Introduces feedback as a working method across several teams, trains managers in it and monitors whether unwanted behaviour is raised earlier.
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.
