## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage his extreme intellectual rigor by assigning him to systemic, high-stakes problems where he can dismantle obsolete paradigms without being constrained by traditional bureaucracy.
- Mitigate interpersonal friction by coaching him to separate his groundbreaking ideas from his combative delivery, gradually transforming his 'briefings as weapons' into persuasive consensus-building tools.
- Capitalize on his 'To Do' over 'To Be' philosophy by placing him in high-impact, low-prestige environments (like autonomous skunkworks projects) where achieving tangible results outshines standard career advancement.
