'leading the team' is the definition.
'managing' can be an answer for 'leading' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'the team' bit.

'guy getting on' is the wordplay.
'guy' becomes 'man' (guy can informally mean a man).
'getting on' becomes 'aging' (getting on means getting older).
'man'+'aging'='MANAGING'

'and' is the link.
