## Tactical Playbook
- Exploit his capacity for rigorous technical stewardship by positioning him as a high-level architect and mentor; allow him to drive consensus through technical debate rather than formal people management.
- His ferocious defense of technical principles and rejection of 'revolutionary' shifts may alienate stakeholders seeking rapid modernization; coach him to frame stability as a strategic enabler for long-term velocity rather than a barrier.
- Given his preference for the 'education of the expert' and rational argumentation, ensure he is given structural platforms (deep-dive reviews, keynotes) to articulate the 'why' behind pragmatic trade-offs, preventing his hard-headedness from being perceived as mere stubbornness.
