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.

The conversation highlights the importance of leadership in fostering trust and making tangible progress in reconciliation efforts.
