Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges Iranian American leaders experience and the secret strategies they develop to overcome these challenges. The study showed that they face significant work-related, cultural, social, and financial challenges as they try to start a new life in the United States. The strategies they used were described as follows: believe in yourself and pursue your dream, be true to yourself and true to others, be committed to your business, don’t give up, see challenges as opportunities, interact and communicate with others, keep learning, and become a bridge between the American and the Iranian culture.
