Catching leaders in head office agreeing (7)

I believe the answer is:

hooking

'catching' is the definition.
(hooking is a kind of catching)

'leaders in head office agreeing' is the wordplay.
'leaders in' suggests taking the first letters.
'agreeing' becomes 'oking' (to OK something is to agree to it).
The initial letters of 'head office' is 'ho'.
'ho'+'oking'='HOOKING'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
