Abstract: In this review of literature, we analyzed the salient references concerning athletics and athletic directors. Educational leadership traits including organization and planning, decision making and problem solving, communication, and evaluation were explored. The substantial influence that athletics has on students including participation figures and benefits of participation was examined along with the literature relevant to the historical roles and responsibilities of athletic directors. Finally, the review of literature included how perceptions of leadership for athletic directors influenced organizational climate, shared vision, and situational leadership abilities.
