Northern Iowa Director of Athletics David Harris sits down with ADU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2023 NCAA Convention to discuss his strategies for setting expectations, specifically around strategic planning, fundraising campaigns and facilities projects. Harris: “As you’re trying to lead your athletics department, you want to get them excited about something that they’ve never seen before but you don’t want to go so far that you’re gonna miss that goal in a way that impacts your credibility and the credibility of the department.” Harris and Brown dive into issues of prioritization, developing a collective vision with university stakeholders and the impact of making mistakes as a leader.
