Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Takes active part in team agreements and names in the team meeting what would make collaboration easier. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Discusses roles and irritations in the team, makes working agreements and evaluates them after an agreed period. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Develops the collaboration standard between teams and departments and guides managers through deadlocked cooperation across 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.
