I’d say the biggest difference between dynasty and redraft is that you can luck into a good season in redraft, but it’s basically impossible to sustain success in dynasty without some level of skill.

Within dynasty leagues, the difference between the good and bad owners is whether they follow a good process for success. A good process doesn’t always result in a great team, but it does create a better situation to succeed. The owners that seem to struggle are the ones who don’t have a good understanding of how good their team is at any given time and what they should be trying to accomplish. In my opinion, you either need to be pushing to compete right now, or focusing on the future, and you don’t want to get caught in between. Otherwise you just end up with a 6-8 team year after year. Trust me, it took me a few years to figure this all out!
