Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour 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.
