What are Robert E. Lees leadership qualities?

Answer 1

A quick mover, who could steal a march on the enemy, and wrong-foot him by refusing to fight on the field he had chosen.

His bold tactics inspired the rank-&-file, and his early string of victories across Virginia in the summer of 1862 made them feel that they were a great army.

These triumphs, however, were really the product of the Lee-Jackson partnership, and after Stonewall's death at Chancellorsville, neither Lee nor his army was ever the same again.

Aside from the purely military virtues, Lee exuded a sense of human greatness, distinctly missing in most of the other Generals - a dignified Southern aristocrat, full of the Confederate spirit at its noblest.
