Cooperation Begins with Conversation

When Ruth was in office and tough issues came up, she was able to accomplish results by getting people to cooperate, even if they were from different parties or had different interests, because she was known as someone who would listen and cooperate. She was the one who was willing to say, “All right, what is it that you need out of this, and how can I get what you need and what I need so that we both end up with a better objective than if we fight each other on it?”Ruth understands that cooperation begins with conversation: asking intelligent and open-ended questions; listening; respecting others’ opinions; and understanding people’s real concerns, as well as what opportunities they’re most excited about and what strengths they have to contribute. With this information in hand, she is able to find common ground for communication and agreement that other politicians miss.
