If I understand the context correctly, the concept of 'the right attitude' is most likely two-fold: Firstly the technical ability and knowledge that most people have identified and detailed, so I won't go over the same ground again. Secondly, the ability to put this over to other non-technical people in a way that: a) Doesn't make them feel like idiots. b) Explains why A B or C is a good idea. c) Explains the benefits of the new way. d) Answers all questions in 'layman's terms' with a minimum of jargon. It could be an issue of 'we don't want some hardcore tech who will blind us with science and not explain things properly' as much as needing someone with technical ability.
