You’ve just watched the full walkthrough of a 250-word statement for Leadership at Administrative Assistant (AA) and Administrative Officer (AO) grade. Here are the key insights to help you shape your own example.
Why this behaviour matters
At AA and AO level, Leadership is about taking ownership of your work, acting responsibly, and setting a positive example for others. Recruiters want to see that you take pride in your role, treat people with fairness and respect, and help your team achieve its goals. It’s also about understanding how your actions affect others and contributing to a supportive, inclusive environment.
How to shape your own statement
Think of a time when you took initiative, supported others, or helped your team stay on track. Use the B-STAR method to structure your response:
🌟 Belief – show that you value responsibility, fairness, and teamwork.
🎯 Situation and Task – describe a situation where you needed to take ownership or show initiative.
🛠️ Activity – explain how you led by example, communicated clearly, or helped others stay motivated and focused.
🏆 Result – share how your actions made a difference, such as improved teamwork, successful delivery, or stronger morale.
Practical tip
Leadership at this level isn’t about managing others — it’s about personal accountability. Show that you take responsibility for your work, treat people with respect, and help create a positive and productive environment.
Next step
Use the example from the video above as a guide. Apply the same structure to your own experience to show how you lead by example, support your team, and demonstrate integrity in your work at AA/AO grade.
