[Star Wars] By herself, how competent as a leader was Queen Amidala's doppelganger in Phantom Menace?

At least according to those new books (queens shadow and queens peril) Padme's main double Sabe was one of the best to do the job, and at times could fill for Padme exactly. She's not however expected to be an actual leader. Or, more specifically nobody was supposed to see through the disguise, and their initial setup was to hold handmaindens in confidence, so Sabe could be relatively sure to make decisions that Padme would make herself.
