Boss, leader (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chief

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'boss' is the first definition.
(I know that boss can be written as chief)

'leader' is the second definition.
(I know that chief is a type of leader)

(Other definitions for chief that I've seen before include "Tribal head" , "Leader, head" , "cardinal" , "Head of a native American tribe" , "Principal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
