## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage Diplomatic Bandwidth: Utilize his 'pizza détente' conflict-resolution style to align aggressively competing factions; position him as the point person for multi-stakeholder, high-friction initiatives where preserving institutional dignity is paramount.
- Crisis Surge Management: While his ability to scale up to 100-hour workweeks during crises drives immense output, this intensity must be paired with forced recovery protocols to protect his longevity and prevent operational burnout.
- Uncertainty Communication Protocol: Address his acknowledged gap in public messaging by pre-installing a framework for communicating scientific uncertainty; actively script 'what we know now vs. what might change' to insulate his credibility during data pivots.
