people have left a job to escape a bad manager — not the organisation

Your managers are not bad people. But good intentions do not equal great leadership. And at Guide Dogs — where your mission demands the very best from every single person — leadership mediocrity has a cost you cannot afford.

The problem isn't that bad managers exist. The problem is that nobody tells them. Annual reviews are too late. 360s are too clunky. Town halls are theatre.

What if every manager at Guide Dogs could hear the unfiltered truth — anonymously, honestly, specifically — about how they are actually showing up for their team?

And what if your L&D team could see the full picture across the whole organisation — not just anecdote, but data?

That is exactly what BAT delivers. In five minutes.

Four steps.
One unflinching
truth.

Step 01

Quick Survey

50 targeted questions. 5 minutes for each team member to complete. Anonymous. Straightforward. No jargon. Mapped to the 10 Great Boss Building Block™ competencies that actually predict great leadership.

01

Step 02

Instant Awareness

Managers receive personalised results highlighting their strengths and development areas — clearly mapped, instantly actionable. No waiting. No filtering. Just the truth, handled with care.

02

Step 03

Go Deeper

Drill down to question-level feedback. Every manager gets a personalised PDF report — practical guidance, coaching tips, and specific development recommendations. Not a score sheet. A roadmap.

03

Step 04

Turn Insight to Action

Your HR and L&D team receives an executive summary: aggregate data across all Guide Dogs managers, trends by team, and the organisation-wide leadership picture. Proof. Not promises.

04

The Great Boss Building Block™ Model

10 competencies. Every great boss is built on these.

Communication
Trust & Integrity
Empathy & Support
Direction & Vision
Recognition
Development & Growth
Accountability
Collaboration
Wellbeing & Inclusion
Decision Making

You can't
fix what
you can't
see.
Now you can.

BAT gives Guide Dogs' HR and L&D leadership a bird's-eye view of management quality across the entire organisation — not a hunch, not an anecdote, but real data from real people.

Imagine walking into your next board conversation with aggregate leadership intelligence across 2,000 employees. Knowing which competencies your managers excel at. Knowing where your training budget needs to go.

That is a different kind of L&D conversation.

  • Executive HR summary dashboard with aggregate data across all managers
  • Identify leadership strengths and gaps at organisational level
  • Benchmark competency scores across departments and teams
  • Target L&D investment where it will make the most difference
  • Demonstrate leadership ROI with measurable, repeatable data
  • Fully anonymous — maximises honest participation rates
