## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage his demand for Independence and Structure by assigning complex objectives with clear architectural milestones; avoid enforcing rigid compliance protocols, allowing him to innovate the execution path autonomously.
- Bypass his resistance to Coaching by positioning him as an independent subject matter expert rather than a people manager; encourage him to scale his innovative concepts through formal systems instead of interpersonal mentoring.
- Mitigate his disregard for Well-being by hardcoding mandatory pacing and downtime directly into project frameworks; frame rest not as a personal priority, but as a strictly structured requirement to sustain long-term innovation.
