peer agreement (net): +1penentu hala tuju Explanation: suggestion: he was the 'directing mind and will' of the company... => beliau merupakan penentu hala tuju syarikat tersebut/itu... i think "membuat keputusan dalam syarikat" (making decision in the company) [or "pembuat keputusan" - to translate it as a noun phrase like the source] does not completely reflect the sense of being the "directing mind and will of the company". while the making decision bit can be inferred of course, i think the source phrase means more than that. someone who is the "directing mind and will" of a company will be someone who not only makes the decisions of the company but whose decisions determines the direction and focus of the company. |
