Humble opinions of mine
Season 1


 * Eddard Stark made a terrible (though understandable) mistake by not arresting Joffrey Baratheon before Cersei Lannister had a chance to act. Furthermore, installing Renly rather than Stannis (a religious fanatic and a tyrant) would have been a wise move; this would have secured the loyalty of House Tyrell and left both Stannis and Tywin Lannister completely helpless. Renly may not be the rightful king (assuming there is such a thing), but he would certainly have been a fair ruler. This would have left House Greyjoy with no opportunity to rebell and the Sand Snakes with no reason to topple House Martell, and Daenerys Targaryen would thus be left with no ships later on.


 * Following the Execution of Eddard Stark, King Robb Stark should have humbly refused to include the indefensible Riverlands in his Kingdom of the North (as the Starks have no history of ruling them) and withdrawn to Moat Cailin. With Jaime Lannister as a captive following the Battle of the Whispering Wood, he could have negotiated from a favorable position from which the Lannisters could not touch him. Had Robb abandoned the impossible goal of toppling King Joffrey Baratheon and focused on securing the independence of the North, he could have declared victory early and saved thousands of lives.

Season 5
 * Stannis Baratheon should have swallowed his pride and stopped short of demanding that Mance Rayder bent the knee. Instead, he should have settled for a peace treaty on equal terms and promised the Free Folk lands south of the wall in return for their assistance in beating their common enemies. This would have allowed an evacuation long before the Massacre at Hardhome, and hundreds of thousands of wildlings would have owed Stannis a debt of gratitude. Even if they refused to swear allegiance, they would have been forced to fight House Bolton at some point anyway; and with a hundred thousand fighters, this would have been a walk in the park. Stannis would have to temporarily accept hundreds of thousands of people living in his kingdom without answering to his authority, but through assistance and goodwill, he could have coopted and eventually assimilated them into his kingdom by peaceful means. In other words, Stannis's biggest weakness is his lack of vision and terrible diplomacy.
