why Odysseus is a bad leader
Doesn't listen to his men's opinions
This is only just a piece of what is wrong with Odysseus as a leader, because he did not take in what his men were saying they end up dying and good leaders listen to their followers and take their opinions before their own, which Odysseus never seems to do.
Doesn't listen to his men's opinions
Example 1
“I started shouting,calling the Cyclops, although around me my comrades cautioned me from every side,But my warrior spirit did not listen..” (Book 9. Line 660).
Example 1
Example 2
“At first, my comrades urged me to grab some cheeses and return...but I did not agree” (Book 9. Line 223-301).
Example 2
His Arrogance and his hubris
Because of this man's arrogance, his men ended up suffering most of the time because of it and because of his arrogance he blames his men for everything as if they had cursed them If Odysseus hadn't such a huge hubris or had so much arrogance they would have been home by now.
Example 1
"Then I urged them to cut and run, set sail But would they listen? Not those mutinous fools. Too much wine to swill, too many sheep to slaughter" ( Book 9. Pg.213. Line 50).
Example 1
Example 2
“ 'Cyclops, if any mortal human being asks about the injury that blinded you,tell them Odysseus destroyed your eye,a sacker of cities, Laertes’ son,a man from Ithaca’ “ (Book 9. line 660-665).
