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 Asks for feedback after a task, writes down the points and adjusts the very next piece of work accordingly.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Collects feedback from different stakeholders, names where it diverges from the own self image and records a development agreement.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Arranges that managers systematically collect and process feedback, and personally shows how criticism is turned into changed behaviour.
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
