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 and saying things that betray their fundamental responsibility to give their very best to those they represent.

In Be a Good One, McGuinty aims 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 has accompanied these with his own measured advice. This compendium is a compass for all politicians and any others seeking to lead with integrity.

Dalton McGuinty, the twenty-fourth premier of Ontario, served from 2003 to 2013 — the first Liberal to serve three successive terms as premier of the province in nearly a century. In 2013, McGuinty was named a senior fellow at Harvard's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. He is now a senior advisor with PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada, and the special advisor to the president of Desire2Learn, an Ontario education technology company. He currently lives in Ottawa.
