No, Harold was not a good leader and certainly not as good as William. One of the reasons for this answer is that whilst William prepared his troops the night before the battle, The Saxons got drunk and didn't seem to care. They also didn't have very good tactics or a good plan and I doubt Harold wanted to win as much as William. So consequently, Harold Godwineson was not a good leader.

Harold Godwineson was generally considered a capable leader. He proved his military prowess during the battles of Stamford Bridge and Fulford Gate in 1066. However, his reign as king of England was short-lived as he was defeated and killed in The Battle of Hastings by William the Conqueror.
