Guiding or directing a course (8)

I believe the answer is:

steering

(Other definitions for steering that I've seen before include "Guiding and directing, say a car" , "Guiding or showing the way" , "-- Committee; -- wheel" , "Guiding, directing the course" , "Controlling the direction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
