Spanish term or phrase: dentro del modo más tradicional
Buen día estimado(a)s colegas,

Siempre en relación con el mismo documento sobre agua y saneamiento. Esta vez estoy traduciendo ciertas citas de personas entrevistadas:

"Reconocemos de la importancia que no es cualquiera el que va a liderar este proceso, y que es un reto encontrar personas dentro del modo más tradicional de romper esquemas y pensar fuera de la caja"

Traducción

""We realize the importance that not anybody may lead this process, and it poses a challenge finding people ... [willing to] break down preconceptions and think outside the box"

Cabe destacar que la persona entrevistada es de origen estadounidense.

English translation:[people] with a more traditional mindset [who are willing]
Explanation:
I like your 'willing'. As I see it, the speaker is saying that it's difficult to find traditionalists who are willing to break the mold and think outside the box. So we need to look for non-traditionalists.

Explanation:
I think that in this context, "modo" may be better rendered by "approach."
