Company head’s rigidity (8)

I believe the answer is:

firmness

'rigidity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'company head's' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'firm' (I've seen this before).
'head' becomes 'ness' (ness is a headland).
'firm'+'ness'='FIRMNESS'

(Other definitions for firmness that I've seen before include "Rigidity" , "Solidity" , "Strength of will" , "Resolution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
