## Tactical Playbook
- Channel his high initiative and persistence into high-stakes execution roles, but establish rigid project boundaries to prevent his assertiveness from overriding collaborative processes.
- Deliver immediate, data-driven feedback during strategic pivots, as his low adaptability and self-evaluation require external, objective metrics to recognize when a change in approach is necessary.
- Implement structured communication frameworks for his team interactions to mitigate his low empathy, ensuring his aggressive drive for results does not alienate key stakeholders.
