Lighthouse Builds Better Managers

Lighthouse is software that makes it easy to invest in each of your people, and be the awesome manager that gets recognized & promoted.

We’ve studied the best, so you can manage like them. We applied workplace research from Stanford, Harvard, and MIT, and best practices from great leaders like Andy Grove, Peter Drucker, Ben Horowitz, Marissa Mayer, and Reid Hoffman.

Here’s how we’ve helped managers like you:

“Lighthouse is a great tool I’ve been using for over a year that helps with my 1:1s. I’d highly recommend you check it out.”

Mathias Meyer, CEO at Travis-CI
“I had 2 team members that struggled, and I was able to use 1:1s in Lighthouse to spot patterns of concern and then address in a clear manner, creating action items for improvement, and follow up in more frequent 1:1s documenting improvement. And through this both team members improved and have excelled.”

Anna Brozek, Operations Director at Big Cartel
"I have gotten feedback from multiple people complimenting me on how extremely fast I have grown as a leader and how much easier it is to work at the office. Lighthouse was the main key factor to this success, and I recommend any leader looking to grow just as fast to use Lighthouse as well."

Henrik Hussfelt, CTO at Linas Matkasse
“Lighthouse has an amazing Slack integration...it has taken my team's 1 on 1s to the next level! I highly recommend it.”

Valentina Thoerner, Happiness Team Lead at Automattic
“Lighthouse is solving a massive problem for anyone managing a team...Since we started doing 1 on 1s with Lighthouse, the team has never been more productive.”

Marc Held, CEO at Weft
“I had an employee tell me, “at my last company, we had one on ones too, but they were constantly re-scheduled and my manager was always rushed, it’s only doing them here that I actually understand the point of them.” And I want to make sure we don’t slip into that in the future.”

Zac Cramer, Owner at IT Assurance
“Lighthouse saved me! :) The team is more motivated than ever to tackle everything in our way. I'm so grateful about your advice, your software and your blog, which are tremendous sources of inspiration for me.”

Ladislas de Toldi, CEO of Leka

Help Your People Grow
