Also, "Czar" is commonly used in US politics as an informal term for the top official responsible for an area.

I think here the most important connotation is that in US parlance a "czar" does not report to a committee, and with the exception of a case where Sybil is appointed czar, cannot bikeshed. Decisions get made (what a concept!)
