Standards are inherently good when working with others, but style is unavoidable. Ultimately everyone has to adapt and I believe this is one facet where company culture gets defined.

This seems to me to be precisely what he's saying --that, previously, he has tried rigidly to maintain his style, but now will keep an eye to adapting when appropriate. Perhaps I missed your (or his) point?
