In this episode of Reconciliation Roadmap, Dixie Crawford dives straight into one of the most common reasons Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) fail: team misalignment. It doesn’t matter how glossy your RAP document looks or how impressive the launch event was, if your leadership and delivery teams aren't aligned, your RAP is on borrowed time. Dixie unpacks how misalignment leaks into behaviour before it shows up as failure: slipping deliverables, vague ownership, and disengaged leaders. She challenges organisations to stop treating alignment as optional and start recognising it as a leadership responsibility. This episode delivers hard truths about the professional discipline required to execute RAPs effectively, even when reconciliation work competes with 'business as usual' priorities. Dixie also offers three sharp, practical strategies for leaders to realign their teams, build accountability, and keep RAP momentum alive. If you're serious about moving beyond performative reconciliation, this episode is your wake-up call. Alignment isn’t a bonus — it’s non-negotiable.
