Lee made his subordinate officers better. That is the mark of a great leader regardless of his tactical or strategic ability. He put people in situations where they could excel..
Did he? How did he make A. P. Hill better as a corps commander? How did he make Richard Ewell better as a corps commander?
.Longstreet and Jackson come to mind. When you can do that you are making the best of what you have. What more could you ask of him?
Longstreet and Jackson had developed their abilities before they came under Lee's command.
