Wait, what? Siuan learned to compromise?? when did that happen?
When did that not happen? Even Padan Fain comments on it.
her reputation within the Tower during her time as the Amyrlin Seat was that she trampled her opposition at slightest provocation.
No. Her reputation was for manipulating people to do what she wanted them to do, something only Aniaya commented on.
Her draconic "leadership" style was part of the reason why the rank and file Sitters agreed to depose her.
What does "rank and file" Sitter even mean? Out of a Hall of 21 Sitters, only 11 stood against her, and all the others were so strongly supportive they left the Tower rather than stay under her successor (except Seiaine, who also said she wouldn't have voted against Siuan).
Didn't Elaida come from a Murandian noble house? This might partially explain her superiority complex.
A minor noble house. And yes, that is probably the reason for her belief that she's the center of the universe.
Elaida

Those traits prevent her from being a good leader. Maybe she'd become a good Sister in time.
