Failure of management (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversight

I believe this is a double definition.

'failure' is the first definition.
(oversight is a kind of failure)

'management' is the second definition.
(overseeing something)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oversight that I've seen before include "what supervisor has" , "Supervisor's charged with this" , "Failure to notice - blunder" , "Slip-up" , "Neglect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
