listen
I've worked professionally in marketing research for nearly 20 years. I'm trained to ask questions and to listen. That means, I will do a lot less talking and a lot more working to understand what residents want for our city.
I believe the days of government leaders running virtually unchecked are gone. Having worked in healthcare market research, I've witnessed this same change in the patient-doctor relationship. Today, patients tend to question their healthcare providers, they bring in print-outs from web sites, they self-advocate. Council and residents should be collaborating in the same way.
I believe informed residents know what's best for our own city--a radical idea in some circles-- residents' interests first!
