Comments on: “With” vs. “For” http://sydneyowen.com/2009/07/31/with-vs-for/ a raw take on my life as it is: unpredictable, frightening and wildly exciting. Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:30:00 +0200 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Brian Slattery http://sydneyowen.com/2009/07/31/with-vs-for/comment-page-1/#comment-619 Brian Slattery Mon, 03 Aug 2009 04:50:37 +0000 http://sydneyowen.com/?p=622#comment-619 Great post! I definitely think that it's important to the business and the employee (/candidate) alike for a sense of empowerment or collaboration to exist regardless of the personnel level. Two-way street on "For" vs. "With" ultimately btwn the two, no? Reminded me of similar re-calibration that SM is achieving by working "with" customers instead of "at". Interesting how some fundamentals that seemed so central to business early-on have been forgotten for several decades both from the personnel-side and the mktg/PR-side. Love the organizational tone of the post too. Made me think of "Putting the Public Back in PR" and how collaboration/SM are as much cultural shifts as technological. Whoa, long comment. Er, oops! Take care... Great post!

I like it. To me, "with" signifies a collaborative process when "for" is more about you. With means you want to work alongside your team and you will actually be part of something.

It's very subtle but has such a huge impact and difference in the dynamics of employer/employee relationship. I've been thinking of the new rules of running a business and this would definitely have to be included. No more "for"! Love the observation.

SXSW seems like it was ages ago :) I really think you captured the essence of what I was saying better than I could have! You really nailed it and have been doing so ever since SXSW. It's been pretty cool to see how much things have ramped up for you over these past months and it is always nice seeing someone deserving really "make it!" I'm just flattered that I was able to help and have been along for the ride! Ryan - Thanks! We'll catch up in TX sometime for sure! Syd - keep rockin' it, because that's what you do! Syd!
