Manage to show the way (6)
I believe the answer is:
direct
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'manage' is the first definition.
(directing is a kind of managing)
'show the way' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for direct that I've seen before include "Straight and to the point" , "'Straight, without deviation (6)'" , "As the crow flies" , "Guide with credit" , "Immediate - aim" .)
