I think Odysseus was a good leader. He saved his men lives many times. For instance leading his men out of cyclops cave by fooling the cyclops. He saved his men from the curse of Circe who turned all his men to pigs. He also risked his life by going to Hades to find a way back home to Ethica. He also planned how to save himself and his men from the Siren's sweet melody by putting bee wax on their men's ears.
Although Odysseus got his men out of trouble so many times, his men failed at the same time to follow his orders. For example he told his men not to kill any cattle in sun god Helios's island, but there was a storm in the ocean and it did not stop untill his men had it enough of starvation that they thought would rather die from god than die from hunger. Another example is his men opened the bag that had all the winds gifted from wind god Aeolus even though Odysseus warned them not to open it.
