Johns Hopkins AD Jennifer Baker joins AthleticDirectorU’s Steph Garcia Cichosz at the 2023 NACDA Convention to discuss her mission-first leadership style, a philosophy that stemmed from her seven-year service in the Navy and includes tenets such as defining authentic leadership, communicating “Commander’s Intent” and developing Operating Standards to translate core values into policy and procedures. Baker also discusses the creation of her Developing Athlete Leaders program and the future of leadership in the social media era. “I think because I started in the military I'm wired to think that way. I need to understand what are we trying to get done here and then I can think about how are we going to do that. … I think we always have to iterate and course-correct, and so that's another thing for me is just general agility as a leader. Yes, there's a mission, but you can't be so rigidly focused on what you originally [intended that you don’t adapt]. The circumstances change all the time.” Full interview on ADU. (link)

Burnout is an increasingly common problem among SIDs, Extra Points publisher Matt Brown observes. He cites as an example Anderson (DII) SID Randy Jones, who recently stepped down and said on his way out: “I haven't embraced the rising expectations that have been placed on SIDs or athletic communicators. … Over the past few years, quality people have left the profession in droves because of the expectations caused by additional responsibilities and the ever-expanding student-athlete number on campuses, they were simply overloaded. … Unfortunately, a lot of resources and most of the focus now is on hype – seven-second video clips and poorly worded social media posts, which are a lot of flash and not much substance. No one has the time – or wants to – or has the ability – to write student-athletes’ stories anymore.” Brown’s tweet has been quote-tweeted over 100 times, mostly by people who agree with Jones, and Brown notes: “If we see mass burnout or disengagement of quality SIDs, the athlete experience and the fan experience will get worse. And in the long run, that will hurt far more than the dopamine rush of any viral tweet can help.” (link)

This collective approach, the Center of Excellence, seeks to fully maximize the student-athletes' potential of competitive excellence in spite of fierce competition, while continuing to define and take advantage of opportunities moving forward.
