The Leading Intelligence Framework
Solve the Right Problem
Most teams can solve problems. The trouble is they solve the wrong one, misread the one in front of them, or quietly learn to live with it. Leading Intelligence builds Ps Q, the Problem Solving Quotient: the ability to recognize, identify, and manage the real problem.
Ps Q ◆ Me Q ◆ We Q
Why It Matters
Three ways good people get stuck.
Smart, capable teams rarely lack effort. They lose time and trust by pointing that effort at the wrong thing.
The Wrong Problem
Energy goes into fixing what is visible instead of what is causing it.
The Misread Problem
A people issue gets treated as a process issue, or the other way around, and the fix never sticks.
The Problem We Live With
The workaround becomes the way things are done, and nobody remembers why.
Ps Q
Problem Solving Quotient
Ps Q is the center of the framework. It is a problem response system: a clear, practical way to respond when something goes wrong, so the team isn't left relying on instinct or on whoever is loudest in the room.
Recognize
Notice there is a problem before it becomes a crisis, including the ones everyone has learned to step around.
Identify
Name the real problem, separate it from its symptoms, and agree on it before anyone starts fixing.
Manage
Choose a response, give the next move one clear owner, and follow through until it is done.
The human judgment layer in an AI-saturated world
AI can give you a dozen answers in seconds. Knowing which problem is worth answering is still a human job.
How It's Built
This is not a personality test.
On a questionnaire, people answer as the person they wish they were. Under pressure, they act like the person they are. So Ps Q is built through practice: live drills on real situations, with direct feedback, until the new response is the one that shows up.
These tools grew out of more than 20 years of interactive storytelling and theatre with youth, families, and educators, including rival gangs in the same room. They were tested with the toughest audiences before they came to professional teams.

What is Ps Q?
Ps Q, the Problem Solving Quotient, is the ability to recognize, identify, and manage problems. It is the center of the Leading Intelligence framework created by Diana Brittain.
What are Me Q and We Q?
Me Q is how you react under pressure. We Q is how other people react and how a team works together. Both sit inside Ps Q.
Is Ps Q an assessment?
No. Ps Q is a set of skills built through practice on real situations, not a score from a questionnaire.
Who is the framework for?
Emerging and middle managers, technical and professional experts, and any team that has to get work done through other people.
Can our organization license the framework?
Yes. Train-the-trainer and licensing options let organizations deliver it internally. Ask about them on a call.
Is training available virtually?
Yes. Programs run on-site nationwide or virtually.
