## Tactical Playbook
- Frame all feedback and project requests using rigid, data-driven frameworks rather than interpersonal or emotional appeals; he processes information best through structure and discipline, not empathy.
- When requiring a strategic pivot, bypass his low adaptability by translating the new direction into a systematic, step-by-step plan; this redirects his extreme persistence toward the new goal without triggering resistance to ambiguity.
- Implement a mandatory, structured reporting cadence to champion his milestones to upper leadership; because he naturally avoids visibility, management must proactively extract and showcase his highly disciplined output.
