## Tactical Playbook
- Frame goals as high-level objectives rather than step-by-step tasks, providing maximum autonomy while establishing strict, non-negotiable boundaries to mitigate compliance risks.
- Communicate using direct, unfiltered feedback and expect vigorous debate; avoid forcing consensus-building exercises and instead assign them clear, unilateral ownership of specific domains.
- Leverage their desire for public recognition by assigning them high-profile initiatives, but pair them with highly disciplined operational counterparts to ensure execution and manage administrative details.
