Engineer raised help for head office? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leadership

'head office?' is the definition.

'engineer raised help' is the wordplay.
'engineer' indicates an anagram.
'raised'+'help'='raisedhelp'
'raisedhelp' anagrammed gives 'LEADERSHIP'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for leadership that I've seen before include "Authority" , "Management" , "What editor gives" , "Commander's characteristic" , "Had replies (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
