A boss who'll put you on the right track? (8)
I believe the answer is:
director
'a boss' is the definition.
(I know that director is a type of leader of organization)
'who'll put you on the right track?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'on' could be 'to' and 'to' is found in the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for director that I've seen before include "Manager, governor" , "This person could be on board or in theatre" , "Senior person in a firm, executive or non-executive" , "Business manager or film maker" , "Managing board member" .)
