## Tactical Playbook
- Assign outcome-based objectives that leverage his drive for innovation, but establish clear, non-negotiable regulatory or strategic boundaries to mitigate his low compliance.
- Communicate strictly through data, metrics, and logical outcomes; bypass emotional or consensus-based arguments to align with his high persistence and low empathy.
- Channel his extreme initiative by providing independent, high-stakes mandates, but institute mandatory cross-functional checkpoints to safeguard against his tendency to bypass collaboration.
