## Tactical Playbook
- Manage strictly by outcomes rather than processes; leverage his high independence and innovation by assigning complex, open-ended problems while actively removing bureaucratic hurdles that will trigger his low compliance.
- Implement frequent, external data-driven feedback loops; because his extreme initiative drives rapid execution but his low self-evaluation hinders accurate introspection, provide objective metrics to calibrate his performance without relying on his own self-assessment.
- Position him as an autonomous pioneer rather than a traditional people manager; his low command indicates a reluctance to dictate to others, so maximize his output by allowing him to spearhead new initiatives as an independent, high-level individual contributor.
