Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: make or break call
Imagine a situation where you're trying
to choose a new color and floor plan for the office.
This is not a huge decision.
It's not a make or break call for the organization.
But we do need to make the call,
and then execute so we can get back to work.
You may assign a committee of people
to ultimately choose that color.
And you're going to put it to a vote.
Now, not everyone is going to be happy
because this is a matter of personal taste so many times.

Agradeço desde já!

Tenham uma ótima sexta-feira. :)

agree  Teresa Freixinho: Acho que a sua sugestão é a melhor para o contexto, porque você incluiu o sentido de "call" na frase.
