## Tactical Playbook
- Define clear boundary conditions and overarching goals rather than step-by-step procedures, providing the autonomy necessary to leverage his high initiative and innovation while bypassing his aversion to strict compliance.
- Deliver performance feedback using hard metrics and objective external data rather than open-ended reflective questions, as his low self-evaluation trait makes traditional self-assessment exercises ineffective.
- Deploy him as an independent vanguard on new projects rather than a traditional people manager, ensuring his rapid ideation is maximized without being hindered by his low capacity for coaching and developing direct reports.
