Worried you don’t have what it takes to succeed in business?

Relax. Neither did Dr. Whitten.

In this hilarious and entirely true account, a lazy, unfocused, and undisciplined slacker somehow blunders his way to the upper ranks of the banking world. Along the way, he makes plenty of mistakes, takes more than a few wrong turns, and still manages to become a senior executive in some of the most complex financial institutions in Canada and the Caribbean.

With sharp wit and disarming honesty, Dr. Whitten shares the missteps, detours, and accidental victories that shaped his unconventional career, offering rare insight into the mysterious, often absurd, and quietly dysfunctional culture of corporate life.

Written by a Canadian lawyer with a doctorate in Business Administration, The Slacker Chronicles is a funny, insightful look at success — and proof that there’s more than one way to get there.
