You are correct in saying that being the king does come with a certain aspect of leadership. By being royalty, one inherits the demand for leadership, not the skill of leadership itself. Aragorn was first a leader of men, and then a king, as evidenced by his refusal to openly declare his position until it was advantagous to do so. Thus, his first concern was probably not Gondor as a whole, but the men and troops he commanded and the battles that he fought.
