## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage her visionary conceptual strengths and reliance on decentralized expertise, positioning her as a pure 'Creative Director' while pairing her with strong technical integrators who can flawlessly execute her avant-garde concepts.
- Manage her intense interpersonal defensiveness and rivalry-driven motivation by framing external competition not as personal attacks, but as strategic fuel to clearly differentiate and elevate her brand positioning.
- Capitalize on her rapid operational agility and willingness to disrupt (e.g., early licensing, wartime pivoting) while introducing strict financial guardrails to prevent her absolute refusal to compromise from causing catastrophic business failure.
