Angus King

I said, hell, I can do this.

I've been an independent for 35 or 40 years from the time I ran for governor of Maine in 1994. I served eight years as an independent governor. By the way, I found it was a big advantage because I could appoint people, whoever I thought was best for the job, rather than a member of one or the other of the parties.

And then I had 10 years of teaching and business and a whole bunch of other things, then sort of, somewhat to my surprise, ended up running for the U.S. Senate in 2012.

What I try to do is whatever I think is right. If I had to put my philosophy on a bumper sticker, it would be I call them as I see them. In recent years, full disclosure, I voted more often with the Democrats because in recent years, the Republicans haven't given me a hell of a lot that I felt like voting for.

One of the points I tried to make in this course was that leadership isn't just a general on a white horse or a senator or a president. In fact, when I first was approached by the president of Bowdoin to teach there, he said, well, of course, you'll be teaching political science, right? I said, no, I'd like to teach about leadership because I think it's so important.

I don't really fully understand it. And I think teaching it may help me to understand it better. And so Belichick and Parcells, I mean, the NFL is a perfect example. of teams that win consistently, usually based on leadership and on some change in leadership. You know, it helps to have Tom Brady or Jaden Daniels or Marshall and Lattimore, but the key thing is how is the institution led?

The Washington Commanders this year are a perfect example of that. They had terrible leadership for 25 years with Dan Snyder. He sold the franchise two years ago. New owners came in. New general manager, new coach. Now, it was genius to have drafted Jaden Daniels and they held on to Terry McLaurin, but they changed the whole culture. The leadership changed the culture.

And that's why in that class, I was talking about Belichick and Parcells, who were certainly major innovators and leaders in the NFL. By the way, I played high school football. I could have played in the NFL. I only lack two. We saw the photo. We saw the photo. I only lack two qualities. I would have been in the NFL, but I lack two qualities, speed and athletic ability.
