## Tactical Playbook
- Define outcomes rather than processes; leverage his extreme independence and initiative by assigning high-level strategic goals, while establishing clear, non-negotiable boundaries to mitigate his naturally low compliance and avert procedural risks.
- Implement structured, asynchronous reporting mechanisms; because his self-evaluation is high but his visibility is critically low, he will internally course-correct but fail to broadcast progress, necessitating mandatory, lightweight updates to keep stakeholders aligned.
- Reallocate team development responsibilities; given his low coaching drive, avoid relying on him for organic mentorship and instead pair him with operational deputies who can manage staff development while he functions as an autonomous, high-impact driver.
