Listening Tour Question Set

Use during Phase 2 (Days 8-30). 30-45 minute conversations across the team and adjacent teams. Same core questions to each person — themes emerge by conversation 8 or 10. Track responses in a single running doc.

# Listening Tour — [Your Name], starting [Date]

## Core questions (ask each person)
1. What's working well that we should protect?
2. What's broken or frustrating?
3. If you were in my seat, what would you do first?
4. What do you wish leadership knew?
5. What's the biggest risk to this team or product in the next 6 months?
6. Who else should I talk to?

## Optional follow-ups (use judgment)
- Tell me more about that.
- What have you tried?
- What would need to be true for that to change?
- Who else feels this way?
