Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Names which part of a stalled task can be influenced personally and asks the supervisor about the rest. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Focuses effort on what is controllable, reframes complaints into actions and keeps own response under own control when pressure rises. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Increases the experienced influence over work across the organisation by explicitly assigning decision rights in processes and roles. 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.
