Manages to get round current problems (5,8)

'manages' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'round current problems' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'round' could be 'circuit' (synonyms) and 'circuit' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'shorts' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to get' is the link.
