## Tactical Playbook
- Provide high-level objectives rather than strict procedures; leverage his high Independence and Innovation by allowing him to design the execution strategy, while explicitly defining non-negotiable regulatory boundaries to mitigate his low Compliance.
- Position him as a spearhead for new projects to maximize his Initiative, but pair him with an assertive operational counterpart who can provide the Command necessary to delegate tasks, enforce deadlines, and direct the broader team.
- Implement objective, data-driven feedback cycles; his low Self-Evaluation requires direct, external metric tracking to help him accurately assess his performance, recognize operational blindspots, and refine his innovative strategies.
