Leader in crisis (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

head

I believe this is a double definition.

'leader' is the first definition.
(head is a kind of leader)

'crisis' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for head that I've seen before include "River source; promontory" , "Skull" , "''and still the wonder grew / That one small ... could carry all he knew'' (Goldsmith)" , "River or stream source" , "See 14" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
