A style we had remodelled acts as a guide (5,3,3)

I believe the answer is:

leads the way

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'acts as a guide' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'a style we had remodelled' is the wordplay.
'remodelled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'style'+'we'+'had'='astylewehad'
'astylewehad' with letters rearranged gives 'LEADS THE WAY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
