## Tactical Playbook
- Provide rigid strategic parameters but complete tactical autonomy; leverage his dual need for structure and independence by defining the exact end-state, then allowing him to engineer innovative workflows without forcing adherence to legacy standard operating procedures.
- Deliver performance feedback via objective, quantifiable metrics rather than expecting introspective self-reflection; bypass his low self-evaluation trait by directly presenting structural data and explicitly defining required operational adjustments.
- Frame all team-alignment or interpersonal challenges as systemic inefficiencies rather than emotional issues; appeal strictly to his logic and process-orientation, avoiding empathy-based arguments in favor of purely objective, outcome-driven communication.
