Leaders have the ability to define a compelling future vision for an enterprise and galvanizing the many disparate departments, divisions, resources and systems together for their fulfillment. Managers are focused on how to keep equilibrium in the organization, using the selective strategies of planning, organizing, leading and controlling to keep an organization moving forward to its objectives. Leaders are essential for defining the vision and strategies for an enterprise to achieve its long-term plans, and managers are critical for keeping a company on track towards it goals. Together both keep any business on the path to fulfilling its goals and objectives. Respected and internally known leadership scholar Warren Bennis of the University of Southern California has stated that a leader is who one is and a manager is what one does (Fitzgerald, Schutte, 2010). This observation was made from his research pertaining to the innate personality attributes, extent of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and extent of charismatic leadership abilities. These attributes have been defined through a wide variety of leadership[e effectiveness, showing that managers who have these attributes have a higher probability of eventually becoming leaders in their organizations or professions (Fitzgerald, Schutte, 2010). Managers often excel at the orchestration of people, personnel and processes to a goal, often defining tactical or short-term goals for the attainment of tasks, programs and mid-term projects. The far-reaching projects that require employees to see an inherent value in their work regarding the mission and vision of the company, including their integral role to its success, often require a transformational leader who can create a culture of accomplishment (Schmidt, 1993). There are distinct differences in managers and leaders, and this analysis addresses how each are significantly different from each other. The value of educating managers in leadership programs in an organization is also addressed. Organizations need to continually invest in leadership development programs to ensure a steady supply of talent who is visionary enough and focused on the future to lead enterprises effectively (Fitzgerald, Schutte, 2010).

The American Dream is the promise of a better life that brought people from all over the world to the newly discovered continent so that they could populate it and contribute to the development of the land and of their personal lives too. The concept of the American Dream still continues to attract immigrants from countries in Europe, Asia and Africa including North and South America even after more than 400 years. However, the interpretation of the American Dream has changed over the centuries and many people have come to the country with their own expectations of well-being and success. During the early days of settlement, immigrants from Europe were welcomed to create a new life for themselves and for their families. They were attracted by the promise of getting land on which to farm and build a home for their families. The loneliness and loss of tradition was an acceptable price to pay to escape religious and economic persecution in the old country.
