## Tactical Playbook
- Assign outcome-based goals rather than rigid procedures to leverage his high independence and initiative, while explicitly defining the few non-negotiable regulatory or compliance boundaries he must respect.
- Pair him with an execution-driven operational leader who can provide the authoritative command and team direction that he naturally avoids, allowing him to focus strictly on pioneering innovation.
- Replace subjective self-assessments with frequent, data-driven feedback loops, using objective metrics to calibrate his high initiative and compensate for his blindspot in self-evaluation.
