I could totally make a list for Lee, but it'd be short because we only saw him as a commander for what, six episodes including Razor? And for the bulk of his command (Fat!Apollo pun intended) that we saw he was lazy and selfish and cynical and negative in the face of everyone's hope and planning. His dad calls him out on it and his wife does and so does his CAG.

And I don't think that means Lee was a bad leader in every situation. He shined in Revelations. But he was not necessarily a very good battleship commander honestly.

It's hard to know what Kara would have been like but I think some of the qualities that served her very well in the position would have been her cleverness, strategic thinking, her loyalty to the fleet and the president and her willingness to never leave her people behind.

"She treats her pilots like garbage"? Wow, that seems way harsh to me. What about the caring she shows in Scar when she gives that toast at the end where clearly she remembers ALL of their names, what about her being pissed in Captain's Hand when she finds out those pilots are missing and figuring out the code so they can save them? What about talking Kat down in Final Cut and screaming that they need to get *her* pilot to sickbay? Does she lash out at people and make mistakes? Yeah, but I guess I never felt that it's because she thinks they're garbage and doesn't care about them. :(

And no, it wouldn't be easy to work for her, but...to paraphrase...they all might have been a lot safer with her. ;)
