Recovery after setbacks

Resumes work shortly after a rejection, mistake or failed project, names what the setback teaches and adjusts the approach accordingly.

How hrmforce measures this

Self-report of behavioural preferences. At hrmforce the Big Fifty and the 15PF.

This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Starts again after a rejected result as soon as the supervisor has indicated what needs to change. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Analyses after a failed effort what went wrong, discusses it with those involved and starts a revised approach within a week. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Gets the organisation moving again after a major loss and organises that lessons from failures are structurally acted upon. 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.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
