Hello, and welcome back! This week the boss takes center stage. Here's the first of five expressions you can use to describe the man in charge!
IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT 支配的な地位にある
- To be in the driver's seat means that you are in a position of control and have the authority to make important decisions.
- in the driver's seat は、支配的な立場にあり、重要事項の決定権があることを意味します。
- a: After ten years as assistant manager, Ive finally been promoted to manager.
b: Congratulations! How does it feel to finally be in the driver's seat? - a: It's about time Mr. Saito stepped down as president.
b: Yes, he's been in the driver's seat far too long. - (a company president who cannot see eye to eye with the other Board members)
Look, I'm in the driver's seat at this company, and my decision is final!
See you tomorrow!
