This is a horoscope: Sincerity, Humility, Honesty, Naivety, Impatience, Optimism, Influencer.
Sincerity, Honesty, Optimism would be pre-requisites for any legitimate profession (perhaps internal auditors need to be pessimists).
Naivety if it means ignorance is dangerous: you can ask fundamental questions but that's different from being naive. He doesn't give the full quote from Orville Wright on audacity, it continues "Yet faith in our calculations and the design of the first machine, based upon our tables of air pressures, secured by months of careful laboratory work, and confidence in our system of control developed by
three years of actual experiences in balancing gliders in
the air had convinced us that the machine was capable of
lifting and maintaining itself in the air, and that, with a
little practice, it could be safely flown."
They clearly contemplated failure in selecting a location for test flights with strong headwinds that didn't force them to build up a lot of ground speed to take off (making landings safer).
"We realized the difficulties of flying in so high a wind, but estimated that the added dangers in flight would be partly compensated for by the slower speed in landing."
