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?"

Store description
Welcome to The Noble Quill Books were my first passport to the world. Long before I experienced the world for myself, I discovered it through their pages. Every book became an adventure, every library a doorway, and every story an invitation to see the world through someone else's eyes. That sense of discovery has never left me, and it remains at the heart of The Noble Quill today. Some of my earliest memories are of books. I still love everything about them—the anticipation of opening a new story, the feel of a well-crafted hardcover, even the familiar scent of its pages. Books have never been just objects to me. They have been teachers, companions, and the beginning of countless adventures. That love eventually grew into a passion for collecting signed first editions and important books. To me, a signature adds another chapter to a book's story—a lasting connection between author and reader that preserves a moment in time. Whether signed by a president, athlete, novelist, chef, musician, or world leader, every autograph represents a unique intersection of history and literature. As a high school teacher, one of my greatest joys has been sharing that love of reading with my students. Together, we have raised funds to build schools, classrooms, and a library for children in the rural village of Kamatanda, Zambia, reinforcing the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to discover the same joy, imagination, and hope that books have given me throughout my life. The Noble Quill was born from that lifelong passion. Every book I offer has been part of my personal collection and cared for with the same attention I would give any cherished volume in my own library. Each volume is individually inspected, accurately described, securely packaged, and guaranteed authentic. My hope is that every book finds a home with someone who will treasure it—not only for the signature it bears, but for the journey waiting to begin when its pages are opened. Books changed my life long before I traveled the world. My hope is that one of these books changes yours. Thank you for visiting The Noble Quill. — Francy Johnson Founder, The Noble Quill…
