◇表現
【I need you to～】
「仕事上必要である」というニュートラルなスタンスです。
【I want you to～】
話者の個人的願望も含まれているという表現になります。親しい部下や同僚には使えますが、口調によっては横柄な印象を与えます。

◆補足説明
副詞のreally（本当に・実際に）を否定文で使う場合、文章のどこに置くかで、意味の焦点が変わります。この例文では、reallyがnotの前に出ていることで、強い否定、彼女に持ってきてもらう必要は全くない、となります。reallyは否定の内容全体を強調し、必要ない、という事実を、本当にそうなんだと強めた文章になります。
一方、He doesn't really need her to come back by 2:30. のように、reallyをnotの後ろに置くことで、やわらかい否定となります。
本当に必要としているわけではない、実際には必要としているわけではない、のように部分的な否定のニュアンスが強くなります。
He really doesn’t need her to attend the meeting.
They really don’t need her to attend the meeting.
They really don’t need her to manage the project.
They really didn’t need her to manage the project.
They really didn’t need her to come back by 2:30.
