To crack the whip — взмахнуть хлыстом, подстегнуть плетью. To give someone a fair crack of the whip — дать кому-либо справедливую, долгожданную возможность раскрыть, выразить себя в чём-либо, в каком-либо деле, работе. Во времена извозчиков и конных повозок тот, кто держал плеть, тот и погонял и, следовательно, являлся главным и ответственным лицом.
John is a very capable manager, but he has never been given any opportunity to show how good he is. He ought to be given a fair crack of the whip. — Джон — очень способный руководитель, но у него никогда не было возможности проявить свой талант. Ему нужно дать возможность «взмахнуть хлыстом».
