## Tactical Playbook
- Present new initiatives using rigorous, data-backed frameworks rather than fluid concepts, as he requires structured proof to overcome his inherent skepticism and resistance to sudden change.
- Channel his high drive for action by assigning him independent, clearly defined workstreams, minimizing the need for consensus-building which will stall his momentum.
- Provide objective, metric-driven performance feedback on a regular schedule, as he lacks the natural inclination for introspection and responds best to structured external benchmarks.
