The daily drill the report prescribes
Ninety seconds in, ten seconds out, repeated daily.
A guided tactile, sound and breathing sequence you can run anywhere. That is how the score moves — over weeks, not days.
Daily practice
The assessment names the pattern. Two to three minutes a day, three to four times a day, changes it.
Mental fitness moves the same way physical fitness does — short reps, done daily. Run the guided drill, then keep the day honest with the checklist.
Why this 90 seconds matters
The cost of skipping it
Every leader already has saboteurs — the Judge, the Controller, the Hyper-Achiever. They cost you one thing that compounds: the quality of the decision in front of you right now. A single reactive email, a rushed hire, a deferred hard conversation — each is a saboteur tax on the next curve.
How it fits the day
Three reps before your first meeting calibrate the day. Name the saboteur once when it shows up, pause ten seconds before one hard response, and close the day with one honest read on what drove you. Ninety seconds in, ten seconds out, repeat. It is the smallest rep that changes how you architect the system around you.

Guided drill · three reps
Rep 01 · Touch
Rub two fingertips together slowly. Give it your full attention — feel the ridges, the warmth, the friction.
Rep 02 · Breath
Follow one breath the whole way in and the whole way out. When attention drifts, bring it back without judgment.
Rep 03 · Sound
Pick the farthest sound you can hear and hold it. Let the nearer sounds fall into the background.

Positive Intelligence®, the PQ® Score, and the Saboteur model are the work of Shirzad Chamine and Positive Intelligence, LLC. Compass Performance, Inc. is an independent user of these instruments; the interpretation and coaching commentary here is Compass's own.
Compass FOUNDATION
Where mental fitness sits in the operating system.
Mental fitness is not a wellbeing program. It is measured interference in executive judgment. Compass Mental Fitness is a capability inside FOUNDATION — one layer of the architecture Compass installs, held to the same evidence standard as every other layer.
Where it sits
FOUNDATION · Face Reality · self-leadership. FOUNDATION is the first of the five Compass disciplines, and Face Reality begins with the leader's own judgment. Mental fitness is one capability inside that discipline — never a program running alongside the operating system.
What it changes
A reading is evidence, not an intervention. Every engagement ships a system change with the practice — decision rights, standards, cadence or role clarity — so the insight lands in how the enterprise operates.
Where Positive Intelligence® appears
In exactly one layer: the two instruments and the practice app are licensed from Positive Intelligence, LLC and credited as theirs. The diagnostic reading, the enterprise interpretation and the system change are Compass.
The whole architecture is on the FOUNDATION discipline page.

A reading is evidence. The next question is what to do with it.
