Because employees join organizations —
but leave managers.
Background
Research shows: most employees don’t quit because of the company brand, but because of their direct manager. Leadership fit—the daily relationship between manager and team—decides motivation, retention, and performance.
And yet, leadership fit remains invisible in most career and hiring decisions. Companies track costs, skills, and markets. But they overlook the one factor that shapes how people actually work: leadership.
Motive
This blind spot creates frustration for employees, reputational risks for leaders, inefficiency for companies, and friction for recruiters. The result: lost productivity, costly turnover, and missed opportunities.
For years, employee engagement surveys promised change. But too often, results were hidden, inconvenient truths ignored, and entrenched power protected. Good employees and promising leaders disappeared not because of poor performance, but because they challenged the wrong people.
Findabetterboss was founded to change that.
Founder’s Perspective
Matt — Psychologist with nearly 30 years of experience in leadership, analytics, and organizational strategy.
13 years at director level in four of the world’s largest global marketing consultancies, leading hundreds of transformation and go-to-market projects for blue-chip corporations.
13 years heading marketing departments at a global leader in retail/wholesale and at a global laboratory equipment manufacturer, driving digitalization, CRM, and business intelligence.
Across these roles, Matt saw both the potential and the pitfalls of leadership: responsibility avoided, positions shuffled among buddies, ego-driven decisions, and good people removed for political—not professional—reasons.
He also worked deeply with employee engagement projects: as employee, as manager, as consultant, and as head of analytics advising boards. Too often, results became fig leaves—hidden rather than acted upon.
This frustration, combined with insight from every angle of leadership, became the foundation for Findabetterboss.
Solution
Findabetterboss transforms personal experiences into structured, comparable, and safe data.
Employees share standardized, anonymous reports about their managers.
Leaders build credible profiles based on real feedback—not staged self-marketing.
Organizations gain transparency into the leadership culture they create.
Recruiters and consultants use data-driven insights to place people and teams more effectively.
Every report counts and is visible immediately—because every voice matters.
Impact
When the right people work together, everything gets better:
More effective and efficient
Clearer signals and better fit reduce noise and wasted cycles.
More motivating and engaging
Teams align around leadership styles that unlock performance.
Faster and more targeted
Comparable leadership signals speed up better decisions.
Cheaper and more sustainable
Fewer mis-hires and less churn cut hidden costs.
Safer and more satisfying
Anonymized reports and transparent standards protect people and improve fit.
It’s a win for everyone: employees who thrive, leaders who grow, organizations that perform, and recruiters who place with precision.
Findabetterboss is building the world’s first leadership intelligence layer: a transparent system that defines who leads, why it works, and how organizations succeed.
Our goal is not to shame, but to create clarity. Because when people and leaders truly fit, organizations don’t just function—they flourish.
