Either Ozpin is a failure as a leader, or RT are failures as writers, which there is considerable evidence towards. I'd say it's definitely the former, Ozpin seems to be trapped in his own methodology, and the frightening thing is, he may be unaware of this failing of his. His faith in ancient ways may be his greatest weakness, and I fear Salem has become aware of this weakness, and is exploiting it to her advantage. This could be why Beacon fell, Salem knew how Ozpin would react, or in some cases wouldn't react, to her moves. So I wouldn't necessarily blame the writers per se, Ozpin did virtually nothing, and that's all it takes for evil to triumph. The Fall of Beacon proved that.
