Deal with, direct (6)
I believe the answer is:
manage
This clue is a double definition.
'deal with' is the first definition.
('manage' can be a synonym of 'deal with')
'direct' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for manage that I've seen before include "Handle, run" , "Run, be in charge of" , "Run (a football team)" , "Run; cope" , "Supervise staff" .)
