Listen "38. No More Passengers — Everyone Owns This RAP"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Reconciliation Roadmap, host Dixie Crawford emphasises the importance of ownership in reconciliation efforts, challenging the notion of being a 'passenger' in the process. She outlines the necessity for all individuals within an organisation to take responsibility for reconciliation actions, rather than relegating the work to a few. Crawford discusses how isolated ownership leads to limited impact and stresses the need for accountability across all levels of an organisation. She provides actionable steps to embed reconciliation into the core operations of a business and encourages leaders to foster an environment where everyone is expected to participate actively in the reconciliation journey. Takeaways There are no passengers in reconciliation, only leaders or blockers. The success of your RAP is about who owns it, and that should be everyone. Reconciliation is not a side project; it should be embedded in all operations. Isolated ownership leads to isolated impact and potential burnout. Successful RAPs are decentralised and involve all teams. You don't need to be an expert to take action; accountability is key. Language shapes mindset; use active language to promote ownership. Introduce a no bystanders policy to encourage participation. Reconciliation is a leadership role, not a spectator sport. Every stalled RAP has the same root cause: lack of collective ownership.
