I don't think Donald Trump would be a great person to work "with." I think he'd be a person you'd work "for." I was thinking about the "Apprentice" shows and wondered if I'd really want to work for Trump. He may be completely different in real business as opposed to his persona in these reality shows, but still . . .
Working "for" somebody usually gets tiring fast. You're always worried about what that person will think about everything you do and say.
Working "with" means that even though you report to the person you feel like the two of you are working side by side toward the same goal. You have different tasks to do, but you're moving toward the same goal.
That's the kind of work environment that draws and keeps people. That's the kind of manager we seek. |
