## Tactical Playbook
- Establish highly structured objectives but grant absolute autonomy in execution; assign an operational counterpart to manage bureaucratic and compliance-related tasks to prevent friction.
- Position him as an independent visionary rather than a people manager, removing direct coaching responsibilities to allow him to focus exclusively on driving systematic innovation.
- Mitigate his low prioritization of well-being by integrating mandatory, structured downtime directly into project milestones to prevent burnout without triggering his resistance to micromanagement.
