    FTE #1: You need to adjust your style to meet the needs of different employees.

    FTE #2: Shouldn't I adjust my recruitment criteria to get employees who'll meet my needs instead?

    FTE #1: That doesn't help the team you already have.

    FTE #2: There's other ways to solve that problem.
