Self-confidence

Takes positions and decisions without waiting for confirmation from others, and continues to defend own judgement with arguments when contradicted.

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	Gives an own opinion in a meeting when asked for it and supports it with an example. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Raises a dissenting position with experienced colleagues unprompted and maintains it as long as the arguments hold. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Defends an unpopular position towards the board and external parties and visibly accepts the consequences of doing so. 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.
