Boss putting blunder right (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaffer

'boss' is the definition.
(gaffer can informally mean a boss)

'blunder right' is the wordplay.
'blunder' becomes 'gaffe' (gaffe is a kind of blunder).
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'gaffe'+'r'='GAFFER'

'putting' is the link.

(Other definitions for gaffer that I've seen before include "Boss, overseer" , "Senior electrician on a film/TV set" , "one securing large fish" , "one prone to blunder socially?" , "Chief electrician on a film set" .)
