You’ve just watched the full walkthrough of a 250-word statement for Developing Self and Others at Executive Officer (EO) grade. Here are the key insights to help you shape your own example.
Why this behaviour matters
At EO level, Developing Self and Others is about taking responsibility for your own growth while supporting colleagues to learn and succeed. Recruiters want to see that you are committed to continuous improvement, open to feedback, and willing to share knowledge so that the whole team performs better.
How to shape your own statement
Think of a time when you invested in your own development or helped someone else build their skills. Use the B-STAR method to structure your response:
📘 Belief – state your commitment to learning and helping others grow.
🎯 Situation and Task – describe when development was needed for yourself or a colleague.
🛠️ Activity – explain the steps you took, such as training, mentoring, knowledge sharing, or applying new skills.
📈 Result – show the impact, such as improved performance, greater confidence, or stronger team capability.
Practical tip
Highlight how you took proactive steps, whether by seeking feedback, completing training, or encouraging colleagues. Showing that you value learning and can help others progress demonstrates readiness for greater responsibility.
Next step
Use the example from the video above as a guide. Apply the same structure to your own experiences to evidence how you develop yourself and others at EO grade.
