## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage his reactionary speed: Do not try to impose long-term, rigid strategic visions; instead, provide real-time performance data and early utility signals to empower his rapid, high-impact pivots.
- Manage operational friction through intermediaries: Shield him from the bureaucratic realities of talent renegotiations, using a designated buffer to handle the maturation and departure of incubator stars without triggering his frustration.
- Harness the 'Pirate Ship' defense strategically: While his instinct is to bypass PR and weaponize his audience against institutional friction, coach him to reserve 'emergency press conferences' strictly for high-leverage threats to avoid audience fatigue.
