Dear Teacher,
I don't know the meaning of "leeway in this respect can be granted". Please explain it, thank you.
See its context:
You should also be careful about asking your secretary to run your personal errands, though for the high-powered executive in the upper echelons of management, leeway in this respect can be granted. His time is worth hundreds of dollars an hour, and if he simply does not have time to do personal errands himself , he can ask his secretary to take care of them.
