Multiple raters around the person rate behaviour against behavioural anchors.

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

Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Names after a task what went well and what did not and asks the supervisor whether that picture is accurate.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Describes own pitfalls concretely, chooses assignments that suit personal strengths and arranges challenge on known blind spots.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Discusses own limitations openly at senior level, shapes the own role accordingly and makes self reflection a norm in the organisation.
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.

Underlying skills
