As a boss, would you rather have an employee who was super talented or an employee that has less talent but has these traits?

All depends on what the actual objective is...in some cases you may want the super talent...as is often in Information Technology....in a service industry like IT, I would much rather have an Average Technician that knows how to do a little research and keeps their customers informed, than having a super talent that can't talk to people..i have had both under my supervision and each have their place to be successful.

I'll take the employee with the traits. Talent is meaningless unless there is drive behind it.

without drive, energy and going beyond, no matter the skills that is average, talent without these is useless

I can always up someone's proficiency game; those non-cognitive skills are really hard to develop. I'll take the employee with those traits over the supertalented person 100 times out of 100.
