Tiny Oak runs your performance cycle on the LIGHT framework: a leadership ladder where rising is about serving more, not climbing more. For teams that want their people to actually grow.
Generic 5-star scales, awkward 1-on-1s, ratings nobody trusts. Employees brace, managers procrastinate, HR chases.
Set in April, forgotten by July, reverse-engineered in March. The data that should drive the conversation isn't there when you need it.
Who got time with whom shapes who rises. That's not leadership; that's politics. And your top performers leave because of it.
Most performance systems borrow Maslow's pyramid and stop there. LIGHT inverts the lens. Each rung asks: who are you serving at this level?
Growth is movement up the ladder of service. Higher rungs require humility, courage, and the discipline to put the team and the company ahead of yourself.
Used by SuperHumanRace Group since 2024. Built into Tiny Oak as the spine of every self-assessment, manager review, and calibration.
Cascade from company OKRs or build bottom-up. Progress logs throughout the year. No reverse-engineering in March.
Self-assess on LIGHT. Manager refines side by side. Both see the same picture before the 1-on-1.
Founders close the loop across the org. Results feed PLI, growth plans, and next year's goals.
LIGHT is a leadership ladder with named rungs, attributes, and behavioural anchors. Not a generic 5-star scale dressed up as competencies.
Both views render on the same page. No surprises in the room. The conversation starts from a shared picture.
Founders see the full picture before publishing. Outliers surface, inflation gets corrected, cross-team fairness is enforceable.
New joiners aren't penalised. Alumni aren't haunted. Tiny Oak knows who's in scope and treats them accordingly.
Progress logged year-round, not invented at review time. Probation milestones, weekly check-ins, quarterly markers, all tracked in the same place.
Outcomes from the cycle flow into PLI buckets so the conversation about pay starts from data, not negotiation.
Schedule a 30-minute walkthrough. We'll show you the product, talk through LIGHT, and figure out whether it fits your team. No pressure, no slide deck.
