Oh nice! Where you going?
Don't have a fix plan, I haven't even booked yet, just announced my absence at work.
But I know people in Ciudad de Meeeehicooo, will be there the first week at least and then dunno yet. Maybe also visit someone I met some years ago in Ecuador who lives in Aguascalientes. Visiting the costa, maybe Oaxaca/Puerto Escondido, maybe Baja California sur, really don't know yet.
You got recommandations (this reminds me of sending PI some tips for switzerland:p)?

i have an excel question.

so i have seperate excel files. each is a list of about 500 rows of six digit numbers. one file has 504 lines and the other has 501. the two are supposed to match

how do i find what is missing from the 2nd list without going through it line by line?

What I would do is combine both files in a new spreadsheet (you can make the lines different colors if you need to know from which file there are the missing files). Highlight the area then go to the data tab up top and select "remove duplicates" in the "data tools" section. This should leave you with the unique values.

What makes a good leader? Do any of you guys think you're good leaders?
Here's my cynical answer: you don't call yourself a leader, first and foremost. You do, you don't label. And you don't elevate yourself above others.

Leadership is still creaking from top-down, coercive, command-and-control, I-can-piss-on-your-heads-what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it machismo that it is ... to quote my favorite rag, Everyday Feminism -- toxic masculinity weaponized into an industrial-psychology complex.

Actually, I am pretty serious about this. There are rags like Forbes and Inc and Fortune and every success porn outlet in between who worship some fake cult of leadership as a means not of lifting up others in service, as leadership should do, but rather as a means of self-aggrandizement and feigned superiority.

The first rule of leadership is you do not talk about leadership.

We live today in a more networked world where influence is earned, not anointed by a higher power to be forced down onto the masses to do one's bidding. This means throwing away all the b.s. associated with traditional leadership and developing those skills and participating in those actions that brings the best out of others. Leadership is not a title, it's an action. Shut up and just do it, and stop treating it like some badge of honor. We all need to be leaders in complex societies with so many views, opinions, moving parts, etc.

It takes three things to be a great leader IMO. Huge base of knowledge would be the first thing (know your work stuff in your little finger). Second would be empathy and ability to understand others rather than command while using a whip. Third would be the balance and not going toward naive being but rather careful and patient.

Other things like verbally fluent, broad general knowledge, luck, charisma, etc. are bonuses which will boost your level even higher.

I kind of have to disagree about the huge knowledge base bit. A leader should be educated, but the universe is too big and complex for any one person to know enough of anything. It certainly helps, but it's not required. A leader helps solve problems among collective people and how they can work together, not individually. A leader of one is just a dude or dudess.

Old definitions of leadership presume individual excellence. That was the 1950s or industrial revolution era of competence ... you presume your boss knows more than you do to qualify them to lead. But the big problems today are way bigger than any one person and require coordination.
