Hi Anonymous,
below you can find a quick sum up of the main PEI dimensions with some examples:
1) Leadership is about leading a whole team in a challenging situation and showing team management skills. Questions include:
Here you want to emphasize how you overcome a difficult situation leading a team.
2) Personal Impact is mainly based on persuading someone to do/ not to do something. Questions include:
Here you want to emphasize your influence on someone else, usually in disagreement with you.
3) Entrepreneurial Drive is about implementing/achieving something overcoming major difficulties. Examples include:
Here you want to emphasize the achievement you reached and the process that led you there.
The best way to structure your stories is to use the STARR approach (Situation, Task, Action, Rational for action and Results), which helps the interviewer to understand all the key areas of your story.
Besides the previous dimensions, common questions also include:
Hope this helps,

Hi,
1. When the consultants ask you to provide an example of leading others or working in teams, most probably they are looking for a leadership story
For those of you applying for junior positions, leadership does not necessarily mean being a supervisor. Organizing various stakeholders, being in charge of a study project, leading your team in a competition - all these examples will make a good story. Leadership is about finding an opportunity and managing people to achieve it
2. When the interviewers ask you to provide an example of resolving a team- or personal conflict, Changing someone's mind, Developing and implementing a solution or overcoming difficulties - it means they want to hear a personal impact story.
Personal impact is a story of influencing people and persuading them to follow your solution.
3. When you have to provide an example of Overcoming challenges, Achieving a personal goal, Failing something, Creating new approaches or doing something innovative - these are the stories about your achievement and entrepreneurial drive
What can be a good achievement? First of all, the achievement should be important for you personally. It should prove that you set ambitious goals and achieve them, very often over and above than planned with innovative solutions
