Leadership Styles Of Capt. Ramius And Dr. Ryan's Leadership Style

Odysseus makes some substantial mistakes, thus leading to the failure to his men. Odysseus shows extremely inadequate leadership qualities throughout the story. When Odysseus is on the journey to Ithaka, he neglects to let his crew know how long they will be staying on each island. He also neglects to let them know of the journey that lies ahead. This is very poor leadership in the eyes of his crew members. The crew relies on their leader to be honest with them when it comes to situations such as these. They expect Odysseus to make decisions for the well being of the crew. When Odysseus receives advice, even if it is helpful he tends to ignore it. He thinks he is the most intelligent human being, even more so than the gods. A prime example of this is when Odysseus receives advice from Kirke about Scylla. Kirke tells Odysseus not to fight Scylla, yet he chooses to anyway. Another example of Odysseus’s ignorance toward people is when Eurylochus tells him not to go onto Kirke’s island because he knows the crew would be turned into swine. Odysseus again chooses to ignore the intelligent advice given by the gods, and finds out that hard way that Eurylochus was correct. After all that Odysseus has done to the crew, it is true to

Throughout the novel, Odysseus shows leadership as he sails over the oceans with his crew. For example, the crew must pass the massive whirlpool Charybdis and the six-headed monster Scylla. The monster will eat six men per ship. Odysseus knows that six men will die if they pass too close to Scylla, or Charybdis will devour the whole ship and crew. Odysseus, the leader of the crew, makes a decision that will benefit his crews mission. He motivates his men by assuring “this danger is no worse than what we faced” before (12:227). His leadership creates a courageous atmosphere that triumphs the fear in the hearts of his men. His men row on, despite the fear, following his orders, and only lost the six men they had to lose to pass this section of road on the pathway to home. Another example of strong leadership is the exploration of the cave of the cyclops Polyphemus. The cyclops is an unknown population,

When Odysseus was learning of his future in the underworld, he was told of an upcoming obstacle, he would have to choose to either go against Sylla or Charybdis. If he went against Sylla, he would for certain lose six crew members, but if he went against Charybdis he has the risk of losing his entire crew. Odysseus chose the safer option, Sylla, in the process he lost the six crew members he was told of. All in all, knowing of the choices Odysseus made for his crew, showing he was always thinking of the well-being of his crew, this supports that Odysseus was a strong

“Man the oars and pull till your hearts break if you would put this butchery behind” (169). He's trying to protect his men from the danger of the Laistraygons. He wants the best for his men and he wants them to be safe. People may argue that he's just trying to protect himself but without his crew where would he be? His crew wouldn't be anywhere without him either because they depend on each other. He wouldn't be able to go anywhere because he depends on them too.

Opponents say that Odysseus uses his accomplishments to gain fame and glory. However, Odysseus would have never thought of that due to the dangerous situations he faces that may cost his life. For example, as Odysseus and his crew were continuing on their journey, they encountered the Sirens who had “lovely voices in ardor appealing over the water made me crave to listen, and I tried to say ‘Untie me!’ to the crew, jerking my brows; but they bent steady to the oars” (1134). Homer portrays the epic hero, Odysseus, as the element, victorious from a dangerous situation because the Sirens were powerful enough to bewitch any men with their voices. Nonetheless, Odysseus followed the advice given from Circe and secured himself by wrapping his arms around the pole of the boat and covering the ears of his crew members. Odysseus knew how dangerous this could’ve been, but still decided to risk his and crew member’s lives and sail through it. Another reason would be Odysseus’s raging pride that can make others in danger. While this is not entirely inaccurate, he does have an understanding of the responsibilities it takes to be a leader. For instance, in order to persuade Zeus to help Odysseus, Athena defends how “he fought only to save his life, to bring his shipmates home” (1104). Leadership is displayed in a way when the author references how Odysseus was a brave and unselfish epic hero by putting his shipmates before him. This could suggest that he cares deeply for his shipmates and feels responsible if something were to happen to them on his behalf. Critics may have wondered if Odysseus is truly an epic hero due to his true intentions and how his pride can put others danger, but his willingness to overcome these tough obstacles and face these kinds of situations is only something Odysseus can

In result, Odysseus rightly tied the men to the boat in way to keep control over them and get away from these lands. Odysseus’s most important attribute that makes him a hero is his ability to be shrewd in troubled situations, which is highly appreciated by the

The story of Invictus is based upon the life of Nelson Mandela during the time he held his Presidency of South Africa. Specifically, the movie focuses on his ideas of managing the Springboks and how the opportunity of using the country’s Rugby team unfolds as a way to bring the country together. Since The World Cup is being held in South Africa during the first year of his term, he sees The World Cup as an attempt to bring the whites and blacks together by finding pride in their home team’s victory. Mandela is successful at transforming the beliefs of South Africa through his styles of democratic leadership, transformational leadership, and interpersonal orientation leadership.

This paper shows the different leadership styles and how it can affect the team results. both the leaders try to motivate the team, one tries to motivate them extrinsically and the other one intrinsically. The paper says there is no right or wrong style of leadership, but a true leader motivates others to develop those leadership qualities in them and do better. This paper gives a description of the coaches and the team players who showed leadership qualities even in the most difficult situations because they knew that their team needs them. It also describes the contribution on these players in their victory. They forgot their difference and played as a team.There were no

The movie “Apollo 13” is a great example of the different styles of leadership and conflict management presented by the main characters like Gene Kranz, Jim Lovell, Frank Borman, Ken Mattingly, and Jack Swigert.

After all they had been through together, nothing could phase them. Odysseus was a necessary role model for his crew as he persevered on his own and likewise inspired them to do the same.

Odysseus’ greatest strength is that he’s strategic. He was immensely strategic when he came up with a scheme to massacre the suitors who invaded his home. This plan worked, and all the suitors were either killed or forced to leave. This shows Odysseus can come up with a working strategy, even when the odds continue to be weighed heavily against him. Another time Odysseus was strategic was when he put wax in his crew’s ears to avoid them becoming charmed by the sirens, therefore showing his ability to come up with strategies to overcome all obstacles in a miniscule amount of time. Overall, Odysseus is an immensely strategic man.
