## Tactical Playbook
- Provide broad, outcome-based objectives rather than step-by-step instructions, granting her the autonomy to design novel solutions without the friction of rigid compliance frameworks.
- Pair her high initiative with detail-oriented project managers or structured tracking systems to ensure follow-through, compensating for her natural deficit in self-discipline during long-term execution.
- Position her as an autonomous subject matter expert or visionary contributor rather than a traditional people manager, allowing her to drive progress through innovative thought leadership rather than authoritative command.
