@1QLeadership Question: Do the titles given during your career define your underlying skillset?
Chris McFarlane is the Deputy Athletics Director for External Relations and Business Development at UCF. At a quick glance, his career arc would have him labeled as a fundraiser. With further study, McFarlane's career is actually rooted in building programs.
- Hired to lead an athletics fundraising office in his mid-20s
- Purposely stepped away from a leadership role after successfully building a couple of fundraising programs
- Recent appointment leans into his program building skill while using aspects of his fundraising experience
McFarlane continues to rely on the skills developed while working as a fundraiser but has always known that his superpower is building sustainable programs that help athletics departments focus on executing their purpose for existing. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M. Brown
