In this episode of Reconciliation Roadmap, Dixie Crawford discusses the detrimental effects of perfectionism on the implementation of Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs). She emphasises that waiting for the perfect moment can stall progress and erode trust among stakeholders. Instead, she advocates for a mindset that embraces action and continuous improvement, encouraging organisations to launch their RAPs and adapt as they go. The conversation highlights the importance of leadership in fostering trust and making tangible progress in reconciliation efforts. Takeaways Perfectionism can stall RAP implementation and erode trust. RAPs should be seen as living frameworks that evolve over time. Delays in launching RAPs can lead to disengagement from stakeholders. Credibility comes from action and visible effort, not a polished document. Perfectionism often stems from fear of backlash or making mistakes. Setting a firm launch date can help overcome perfectionism. Adopting a version control mindset allows for continuous improvement. Celebrating small actions can shift the focus from perfection to progress. Leadership is crucial in building trust and momentum for change. Reconciliation requires immediate action, not waiting for readiness.
