Magic Questions for Busy Teams Template

Magic Questions (Lite & Lightning) is the speed version of the full, longer Magic Questions. If you have enough time to, I’d recommend getting through the long form version.

Sometimes though, we don’t have enough time to get through the full Magic Questions with our teammates. Or, because the full version of Magic Questions takes trust, we might not know someone deeply enough to go through all of it.

In these cases, I recommend using Magic Questions (Lite). These hit the essential questions on the head and provide fodder for further discussion and trust-building.

If you know your teammate well, you could even do Magic Questions (Lightning), which is even faster. You just score numbers, say what would make it better, and jump straight into action on optimizing your life. I like using this version for execs, or if you're trying to manage up.

Feel free to duplicate this template into your own personal Notion. I’ll also include a downloadable asset at the very end. Good luck!
