Seeing the Big Picture: common mistakes

Frequent reasons Seeing the Big Picture statements score poorly, and how to fix them.

• Describing duties instead of actions that show seeing the wider context and how your work connects to organisational goals.
• Using a story that better fits another behaviour (Leadership or Delivering at Pace. This is about context and alignment, not directing people or just finishing tasks).
• Writing "we" without your contribution.
• No result, metric or feedback.
• Pitching an AO-sized example at SEO or Grade 7.
