Developing Self and Others interview questions

Behaviour interview questions for Developing Self and Others. Prepare STAR examples that show learning continuously and helping others grow.

Assessors look for: evidence that you seek feedback, build skills and support colleagues' development.

Example questions

  • Tell us about a time you demonstrated Developing Self and Others.
  • Give an example of when you had to seek feedback.
  • Describe a situation where you built a skill deliberately and how you decided what to do.
  • Tell us about a time your approach to learning continuously and helping others grow did not go to plan.
  • How do you make sure your work shows evidence that you seek feedback, build skills and support colleagues' development?

Answering well

  • Pick one example; do not leap between three stories.
  • Spend most of your time on Action.
  • End with a result and a brief reflection.
  • Do not confuse this behaviour with Leadership alone: development is about growth, not just directing work.
