Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Writes down two development goals with the manager and tracks which agreed action has already been carried out.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Sets own development goals with measurable outcomes, gathers evidence of progress and adapts goals when the work changes.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Links individual development goals to the direction of the organisation and defines how progress is tracked across the entire company.
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.
