Sometimes your longest serving engineers can be your biggest anchor. Good engineers are (justifyably) highly opinionated about what can be done, but sometimes it turns into "what I do works, so all other ways are wrong". At that point the best move for them might be to go learn how somebody else does it. Wish them well, and back a different horse.
