Atlantic 10 Commissioner Bernadette McGlade, CIAA Commissioner Jacqie Williams and George Washington Director of Athletics Tanya Vogel sit down with AthleticDirectorU to discuss constituent management, managing influence, filtering information, and maximizing stakeholder value. The trio also touches on weighing opinions from various stakeholders and more.
1:44 - How do you manage the many people that want to have
influence over the leadership positions that you have?
5:56 - How do you filter through all of the information and data
that’s coming to you to be able to come to a decision on what
consensus really looks like?
10:06 - How do you measure all of the different opinions and how do
you make decisions?
13:48 - Walk us through the CIAA's decision to relocate its men's
and women's basketball tournament from Charlotte to Baltimore.
(McWilliams)
16:28 - How does the long-term strategic planning process begin and
evolve at the conference level? (McGlade)
18:47 - In the business world and the for-profit world, they say
that a CEO’s job is to maximize shareholder value. Obviously, we
don’t necessarily have shareholders in college athletics, but what
is your ultimate job for the student-athletes or presidents that
you may serve?
