Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Addresses a direct colleague about an agreement that was not met and asks when it will be done.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Also addresses colleagues outside own team about agreements, names the consequence and follows up on the new agreement.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Addresses executives and partners on compliance with agreements and anchors that practice in the organisation's way of working.
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.
