Its not a question of leadership. There is world of differences between leading a govt and a private org. For example, if a govt organization does some relief work somewhere, it is their duty, their responsibility. If a private organization does same work, it is charity. The meaning behind their actions, their motivations, the public expectations, everything change. The policies of govt are different than personal policies of the political leaders running it. A govt run by socialist/communist people would still do business with west. It doesn't reflect on their personal ideologies. If some money is donated to a govt org - it is equivalent of donating to govt, some figurehead's personality has minimal role to play in it while with a personal org having a distinctive head, connotations change. In the first case govt is responsible to take care of that money, unlike the second one.
You have the answer in your very own post. Who heads the government? Who takes the decisions? Ofcourse Chief minister, who is the real decision maker, Governor can be termed a figurehead but not the elected chief minister. Yes a Chief minister can appoint others to overlook a particular work but he at the end of the day will be the one who is the final decision maker.
