Responses will Remain Anonymous but Verified by Travis Smith
Each month, I’ll ask ADs a question designed to share the experiences, lessons and perspectives that often aren’t found in job descriptions or leadership books. Your response may help another AD—whether they’re just starting out or navigating a new challenge—learn from your experience and see the profession from a different perspective. These responses will be collected and shared (anonymously) in the monthly HEA online magazines, The Modern AD or The Mid-Major AD, or directly on the Higher Ed Athletics podcast and free newsletter.
What’s a common mistake you see new Athletic Directors make, or one you made yourself early in your career, that can be avoided with the right perspective or approach?
