Former Presbyterian College Director of Athletics/current Fresno State Deputy AD Rob Acunto joins ADU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2023 NACDA Convention to discuss how he crafted a game plan for success with the Blue Hose. Acunto explains how his goal of “transforming” athletics at PC was guided by three “Cs” of leadership – communication, collaboration and coordination – as well as six Guiding Principles. Brown and Acunto also dive into the synergy between organizational and personal core values and how to evaluate and onboard new hires through a trickle-down leadership style.
