It's totally true, in those rare cases a team leader would not be there and the whole discussion about hiring developers is completely irrelevant, and nobody is really there to check the tools. But I tend to bend the world around me my way: team work, emphasis on innovation, more or less agile, continuous deployment, don't be afraid of change, try to keeep the code clean etc. By being clear during the interview, I give everybody the opportunity to make their mind about each other. Not everybody is welcomed in my team, and my style is not welcomed everywhere.
