Head, leader (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chief

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'head' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

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

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

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
