I have worked with lots of folk who "don't care" about the standards (of 
what is behind the scenes).  The boss of a new hospital cares nothing for 
how the medical gases get to the bed-head, he/she just wants them there when 
the place opens.

Focus on the required result, each person can contribute skills in different 
areas, hopefully complementing each other.  In conversations, concentrate on 
the end, not necessarily the means.
