Leadership? He was a Marxist–Leninist AND a Cuban nationalist. Those are ideologies, not military attributes. His brand of fighting was guerilla warfare which is how he gained control of Cuba. None of that had anything to do with the incompetence and poor training of the Cuban exiles who mainly fought (if you want to call it that) in the invasion. The plan failed because it was ill-conceived, not because of Castro's "leadership".
