## Tactical Playbook
- Assign outcome-based objectives rather than rigid procedural tasks; leverage his high Innovation and low Compliance by granting him the autonomy to invent novel solutions, provided the final deliverables are explicitly defined.
- Provide detailed, advance notice for all strategic shifts or meetings; his extreme reliance on Structure and low Spontaneity dictates that he requires time to systematically process, plan, and organize before executing changes.
- Implement formal, recurring milestone check-ins to monitor project health; his high Persistence ensures relentless execution, but his low Visibility requires management to actively extract updates rather than expecting him to broadcast his progress.
