I always got the impression that Ender was better at overarching strategy but didn’t have Beans attention to detail and ability to micromanage. They both complimented eachother really well though Bean went very underappreciated.
I think that’s exactly how they described it in the book. Bean was like a surgical instrument, precise and perfect for those small details/strike teams, but not as great at the larger overarching tasks.
But then we found out later that Bean was actually the smartest kid in the room
