In this episode of Reconciliation Roadmap, Dixie Crawford emphasises the crucial role of RAP champions in driving reconciliation efforts within organisations. She discusses the challenges these champions face, including a lack of empowerment and the tendency to wait for permission to act. Crawford encourages RAP champions to embrace their leadership roles, take bold actions, and not be afraid to challenge the status quo. The episode concludes with a leadership challenge for listeners to take immediate action without waiting for approval.
Takeaways:
- RAP champions often feel chosen but not empowered.
