We believe the best of each other. <br /> Openness and increased trust is gained. We work better together with <br />respect and trust. We have improved listening (which doesn’t mean agreement), learn to listen to each other <br />and learn to communicate different points of view better. We establish the greatest possible trust with each <br />other. <br /> <br />Our collective behavior serves as a model for our community and allows us to successfully address <br />complex challenges. <br /> We can learn to work together as a trusting collaborative team, and to develop and/or <br />improve skills. There will be trust, common respect and understanding as a group that will enable us to <br />accomplish work/goals. <br /> <br />We will be able to do our work better, with enlightenment about each other’s views and less repetition <br />which equals satisfaction! <br /> We understand individuals and group priorities so we can lead the organization <br />in the most effective way. We value relationships and partnering together to make good decisions for the <br />community. <br /> <br />Relationships are improved and relationships and trust developed help us achieve our goals. <br /> We have <br />a better understanding of one another. Good working relationships where you feel people are honest, <br />respected and feel valued. We know each other better and establish friendships and stronger personal <br />relationships. <br /> <br />We have a vision for the community, a clear sense of purpose, a clear focus on priorities and clarity <br />about our direction. <br /> We have new ways of working positively together on behalf of our city. Clear <br />outcomes, clear goals and objectives from council create clarity and excitement around council goals. These <br />goals inform and drive our budget and we stay focused on the future. <br /> <br />We foster positive outcomes for the community with goals that we believe will together move our <br />community forward and we will have community support. <br /> Consensus goals begin to find solutions to our <br />community challenges. Only one achievable goal will benefit the City. (This statement means literally one <br />goal is not the priority of many.) <br /> <br />We will achieve a list of realistic goals (City goals) that most ~if not all of us~ can support. <br />We will <br />learn new ways to process information that leads us beyond conflict with others and gets us all to consensus <br />accomplishment. Goals are fewer and focused and a set of concrete achievable goals is established. <br />Identification of unified goals can blend short-term initiatives into long-term goals. <br /> <br />We will have the ability as a group to look back on this process when things get off-track. <br /> There will <br />be staying power and we retain lessons learned. We will be re-energized and feel good about our investment <br />of time. The council and executives learn to work together to enable the council and City to accomplish <br />council goals. All council members demonstrate unqualified support and admiration for our staff. <br /> <br />We believe the best of each other. <br /> <br />THE ISSUES WE ARE FACING <br /> <br />We spend too much time reveling in the negative aspects of the community. <br /> There is no over arching <br />fissure dividing this community, but a series of smaller fissures, with shifting disagreements of supporters <br />and opponents of each fissure. We have many small fractures rather than one large chasm in our communi- <br />ty. Not just one large crack, but lots of little cracks. Any little cracks are huge to some people. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council February 6-7, 2009 Page 5 <br /> Goals Setting Session <br /> <br />
