Charles Norris and Byron Scott have seen it all during their years in the boardroom and on the court. Scott has played alongside the likes of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy, and coached stars such as Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, and Kyrie Irving. Norris traveled the world through his years in the bottled water and consumer food product industries, led an employee base of 2,500+ people, restructured companies from the ground up, and battled executives on behalf of the blue-collar worker. In each of their respective fields, Scott and Norris have corralled egos, led from every position, created chemistry, and survived the many highs and lows to get to where they are today.

In SLAM-DUNK SUCCESS, Scott and Norris share their epiphany that there is only one set of rules to success in life. If you want to be an NBA champion or an all-star in the boardroom, you will likely live by the same core values. The authors divulge their secrets to success in SLAM-DUNK SUCCESS, from leadership tactics to handling tough decisions to confidence building and motivation - they provide a game plan for life based on their individual, yet similar experiences.

SLAM-DUNK SUCCESS brings together two very different worlds and shows that the concepts behind solid leadership are the same in any arena. Life isn't about small victories, it's about figuring out what's blocking you from greatness and finding a way to be a champion. This book is Byron Scott and Charles Norris' way of asking, "How can we help?"

Review:

"Reading this book made me feel like I was in the locker room with Coach Scott. His leadership helped me jumpstart my career and in this book you really get a play-by-play of his winning philosophy."--Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers

"Success that looks like a slam-dunk rarely is. Byron and Charlie chronicle the strikingly similar mental attitudes, preparation, work-ethic, fortitude, failures and foibles that has led to their success in very different fields and sparked their unlikely friendship. Their stories and the lessons they draw from their personal experiences will be of value both on the court and in the corporate arena."-- Lena Goldberg, senior lecturer, Harvard Business School

"I had the greatest opportunity to coach Byron and I knew he'd be a great coach one day. Reading the book reaffirmed my feeling that he's a great leader and motivator who gets to the heart of what makes players tick."-- Coach Larry Brown

"Although it's common to find community at Equinox, Byron and Charles found uncommon friendship in one another. Together, they discovered parallels that exist between sports and business, making this an empowering read for anyone in a leadership role."-- Harvey Spevak, CEO and Partner, Equinox
