The way in which management is heading? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

direction

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'the way' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'in which' is a link.

'management' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'is' acts as a link.

'heading?' is the third definition.
(heading is a kind of direction)

(Other definitions for direction that I've seen before include "Administration" , "Guidance" , "Management" , "Command" , "Course in which something is travelling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
