Just some food for thought based on some recent experiences.

Sometimes, you'll be taking a job that someone in the team thinks they should have been offered - but didn't for whatever reason (perhaps current management weren't aware... or they simply aren't appropriate skilled...)

These people can also be well respected by others in the team. And winning their respect is therefore particularly important, as they may be the ones to validate you on behalf of others.

You can normally spot them, as they will lean back, fold their arms and keep to themselves (out of frustration). Or act the opposite and be completely outspoken over the top of others.

I would consider that these people do exist, and need to be wooed in a slightly different way. Instead of asking 'what do you want?' perhaps it'd be better to ask 'where do you think the problems are?'.
