we read the short story
the minister's black veil

with a short summary of it

“I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.”Spare your own people. As for ourselves, we'll make restitution of wine and meat consumed, and add, each one, a tithe of twenty oxen with gifts of bronze and gold to warm your heart.”

Explanation:

An example of how good leaders take responsibility for those in their charge is when against his will, Odysseus goes to fight the Trojans. In spite of the fact that he wouldn't like to leave his child and spouse, he drives his men in war and uses his judgment to be triumphant. Conflicting with his own wants, he leaves to battle with his men, showing initiative.
