Odysseus was a really good leader for many reasons.The first example or reason is that Odysseus wants to go home safe with his crew. It shows effectiveness by him telling his crew to flow what hes doing.And he tells them couple of things when they get close to the island.He tells them to not say his full name and stuff because that will get him into trouble.That’s how there going to survive by listening to Odysseus.So the second example or reason is when they were on Circe’s island.So Odysseus showed
There are many traits that make a good leader including loyalty, protection, and wisdom. A good leader is someone who is loyal to a group of people and is someone who is able to protect every each one of them. In a famous story called The Odyssey written by Homer, Odysseus is forced to become the leader of a group of people that he will have to sail with back home to Ithaca. Odysseus is a great leader because he is able to lead, protect, and speak with wisdom to his crew whenever they fall into another
Homer, Odysseus should not be considered a good leader because he is giving false hope to his crew and treats his crew very poorly by letting them die for his mistakes. A good leader should do what is necessary in order to achieve their goal and must be considerate of their crew, by respecting them and notifying them about any changes in their plans. It is the leader’s duty to let the crew decide what to do in tough situations and consider their opinions on entering risky scenarios. Odysseus should
Odysseus is not a good leader Odysseus is a very smart man. He knows how to protect and save himself. The problem is, he only knows how to save himself and not his men. A good leader would put their men before themselves and try to save their men first. A good leader would never hide anything from his men because he would want them to be prepared. Odysseus is not a very good leader because he isn't honest with his men and he keeps secrets from them;he doesn't do everything in his power to save them;he
The qualities of a good leader vary from person to person, but there are multiple characteristics that are given. One important trait is being able to make the right decision at the right time. At this, Odysseus is more effective and that makes him a far better leader than Everett in ‘O’brother Where Art Thou’. You can really tell who has more courage and sense to develop a plan when it matters. Though the book and the movie both support the main character, Odysseus is quick witted and confident
characteristics, which a leader should possess. Characteristics of a good leader may vary in the eye of the beholder, however, I believe that overall there are a few qualities that are critically important. Throughout a person’s life, the experiences they endure shape them and build them into an individual. Like the lugals in Mesopotamia, it is a leaders obligation to protect and serve. In the Mycenaean civilization the Wanax stood at the top of their social ladder. In the Odyssey, Odysseus would be a Wanax
In the epic poem The Odyssey written by Homer, Odysseus is a good leader because his men put their faith and loyalty in him and Odysseus can use his wits to get his men out of deadly crises. One quality that establishes Odysseus’s leadership is that his men trust and believes in him. This is demonstrated when Telemachus stands watching as his father take a beating from Antinous, but as his father had wished, he keeps his feelings internalized, “Telemachus, after the blow his father bore, sat still
The Adventures of Odysseus is about a leader that goes to battle for 20 year. But for those 20 years he faced many difficult obstacles. And proved that he’s a good leader while on this 20 year quest. This leaders name is Odysseus. He is forced to go on this terribly long journey by a god named Poseidon. He angered Poseidon by blinding his son Polyphemus. According to the story it states that he stabbed him in the eye because it states ”lugging it near the cyclops as more than natural force nerved
Throughout the story, Odysseus has help his crew through many dangerous situations, he always have a brilliant plan and he is the one that always take the risk. Odysseus has went to hell, heaven etc... just to save his member and to find their way home.Therefore I believe that Odysseus is a good/intelligence leader because he's so brave and smart, he's like the best hero ever in the history of Greece. Without Odysseus the crew would had all died from the terrible cyclops named "Polyphemus" and they
People claim that Odysseus is a good leader, but I have mixed feelings and ideas about it. On the one hand I agree that he is smart, intelligent, and strong, but he is also dim witted at times. At one point in the story, Odysseus had just successfully escaped from Polyphemus’ cave, but once aboard their ship he calls out to the cyclops, “ Cyclops if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye, Laertes’ son, whose home’s on Ithaca
