Each week of 2017 we present an English idiom.
“to call the shots”: to make the decisions; das Sagen haben
Example 1: The manager is out on sick leave, so Mike, the project manager, is calling all the shots at the moment.
Example 2: The CEO calls the shots, but she always consults with her management team about major decisions.
