Be a Good One: Words to Lead by

Dalton McGuinty

McGuinty holds up a torch, lighting the way for politicians struggling to be a "good one."

Politics can seem like a rough, seagoing voyage. Storm-tossed politicians may lose sight of their guiding stars. They can lose their way. They can lose themselves. They can end up doing things and saying things that betray their fundamental responsibility to give their very best to those they represent.

This book is a compass for politicians and any others seeking to lead with integrity. Dalton McGuinty's purpose is to help leaders in a challenging environment stay true to themselves and those they are privileged to serve. An experienced political leader with over two decades spent in the political arena, McGuinty has masterfully assembled a collection of quotations dating back centuries and accompanied these with his own measured advice.
