How To Be a Leader in Today's World

The culture of our times is rapidly changing. It can sometimes be a little hard to keep up with and relate to other people. Leadership can be a difficult task to take on, especially in a rapidly evolving culture, but it is a necessary task.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the constant change; change can be scary and confrontational sometimes. So how does a leader maintain his or her composure when being challenged by a changing culture?

A leader must look at what has pretty much stayed the same since the dawn of time. I, being a business major, have been schooled tirelessly over "the study of leadership", so I'm definitely an expert on the subject of leadership studies. After years of research and personal experience, I have finally found the answer to the question asked above: How does a leader maintain his or her composure when being challenged and pressured by a changing culture?


Bread.

Bread, pretty much, has not changed since it was discovered. It is the perfect example of a noble leader, and its leadership style should be modeled by anyone with any kind of leadership role.

What makes bread so great? If you are asking yourself this question, you're off to a good start. You are starting to think about the big picture, but that's not what you need to be doing right now. First, we need to start small.

What are the qualities of bread? Great question, this is the first step in your adventure of becoming a better leader. Let's list some qualities of a good leader.

• Fresh
• Warm
• Soft
• Flexible
• Tasty

In what situations is bread useful? Here's where we start getting to the nitty-gritty. We just listed the qualities of a leader, now we need to think about what a leader does.

• Making sandwiches
• Making burgers
• Being toasted
• Being lathered up with butter
• Being made into a mask
• Taxes
• Giving speeches
• Holding things

Envision yourself as a leader. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Fake it, until you make it"? Of course you have. Well, I want you to know that it's a buncha crap. That phrase is only told to losers to make them feel better about the fact that they'll never be successful in life. You need to be a leader to become a leader.

Here's how you start.

Picture of me not being a leader.

Take a picture of yourself, like I have done with the picture above, and try to imagine that instance of you, whenever the picture was taken, being a leader. It's hard isn't it? 

Here, let me show you how.

Picture of me being a loaf leader.

It's that easy.

Now you know! Congratulations, you are now on your way to becoming a better loaf leader.
