For Guide Dogs · Behaviour Awareness Tool
For an organisation like Guide Dogs, leadership isn't just a management skill. It's the foundation of everything you do — for the people you employ, the dogs you train, and the lives you transform.
Mission starts with leadership
Guide Dogs changes lives. Every day, your teams train extraordinary dogs, support people living with sight loss, and work to build a world where everyone can move freely and live independently. That work demands exceptional leaders — managers who inspire commitment, build trust, and bring out the best in every person they lead.
But when managers aren't performing at their best, the ripple effect goes far beyond a team's morale. It touches every interaction, every outcome, every life your organisation touches.
The BAT platform gives your managers — and your HR team — the clarity to see exactly what's working and what needs to change. Not through guesswork. Through data.
"The quality of management is the single biggest variable in whether your people stay engaged, perform well, and believe in what they're doing."
— The Great Boss Building Block™ Model
At Guide Dogs, that's not a slogan. It's a responsibility your managers carry every single day.
The Behaviour Awareness Tool
BAT is a fast, anonymous employee feedback platform that shows your managers exactly how their behaviour lands — and gives them a clear, personalised path to become better leaders for the people and purpose they serve.
A 50-question survey your team members can complete in five minutes. Respectful of their time. Generous with the insight it delivers.
Employees respond with total honesty because their names are never attached. Managers get the real picture — not the polished one.
Every question maps to the Great Boss Building Block™ Model — a proven framework for what separates great managers from average ones.
Each manager receives a personalised PDF report with their results, strengths, development areas, and practical tips — ready to act on immediately.
Beyond the summary — managers can go question-by-question to understand exactly which behaviours are landing well and which aren't.
HR receives an aggregate view across the whole organisation — identifying systemic patterns, coaching priorities, and leadership health at a glance.
How it works
Employees complete a 5-minute, 50-question anonymous survey. Simple. Fast. Honest.
Managers see their results — strengths and development areas across 10 competencies.
Drill into question-level feedback. Understand precisely which behaviours to double down on — and which to change.
A personalised PDF report gives every manager guidance and practical tips — no generic training plans, no fluff.
For HR & L&D Leaders
When you have 2,000+ employees and a distributed management layer, individual conversations only get you so far. BAT gives you the organisational view — aggregate data across every manager, every team, every region.
Identify where your leadership investment is working. Spot systemic gaps before they become cultural problems. Make the case for targeted development with evidence, not anecdote.
The Great Boss Building Block™ Model
BAT doesn't measure everything. It measures the right things — the 10 behaviours that separate leaders who inspire from leaders who deflate.
