## Tactical Playbook
- Provide high-level strategic objectives with broad autonomy to leverage her initiative, but establish strict, non-negotiable regulatory boundaries upfront to mitigate risks associated with her low compliance.
- Harness her persistence by assigning her to lead high-friction initiatives, while enforcing mandatory, data-driven post-mortem reviews to compensate for her natural lack of self-evaluation and ensure course correction.
- Communicate using direct, bottom-line metrics rather than emotional appeals, and proactively pair her with a high-empathy operational counterpart to manage team morale and relational dynamics.
