Not to derail the topic, just a slight, but, maybe, important distinction is that complacency might not be "innate," unless the innateness is due to biological determinancy (including chemicals of the brain.) I would humbly counter that complacency is learned behavior (through conditioning, socialization and so on.) If it is learned behavior, that behavior is changeable and more. As you indicate, complacency is a trait that ought to be addressed and altered.
