Values Based Leadership
In a rapidly changing world, it is imperative to have a set of values which can serve as a compass for decision making. These are the core values I will espouse as City Councillor.
Connectivity
The strength of the community lies in the participation of its people. We will build meaningful pathways to connect and participate to strengthen the fabric of Willowdale.
Innovation
The challenges we face require innovative approaches. We will look to global inspiration with localized implementation to find the best solutions for our community.
Collaboration
Build collaborative roundtables across multiple sectors, levels of government and regions to ensure we are building our community together and not in silos. In these collaborative conversations we will always ask, "Who is missing from this table?" and strive to be inclusive and accessible.
Service
Our office will be service oriented. We will implement a customer service approach including technology that will ensure we are able to close the loop on outstanding requests. With such a large ward, infrastructure is needed to ensure the best quality of service.
Transparency
Data supported decisions will be made transparently. Decisions will be made with an accessible consultative process and supporting research.
Humility
We will always keep a posture of having a listening ear - especially to those who feel least heard and those with differing opinions. Sometimes hard decisions have to be made, but we will always look for the win-win.
