Life Coach as Leader: Do Leaders Make Mistakes?
Image via Wikipedia Early in the morning on April 17, 1961, 1400 Cuban exiles landed at the Bay of Pigs, Cuba and attempted to overthrow Fidel Castro. The U.S.-trained force was both too large (to be covert) and too small (too win an engagement).

I knew a woman who didn’t know what she wanted to eat. Her husband would ask her, “Do you want Chinese or Mexican food for dinner? Do you want fast food? Do you feel like cooking?” She would study his face with each word, listen to his inflections, trying to guess what he wanted her to say. “Do you want Chinese?” she’d ask him. “Whatever you want is fine with me.”
