To stop trying to manage everything.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase is central to the Danish 'flat hierarchy' model. Managers who cannot 'give slip på kontrollen' are often viewed as poor leaders who don't trust their staff. In American 'hustle culture', giving slip on control can sometimes be seen as 'giving up', whereas in Denmark, it is seen as a sign of mental strength. The concept of 'Gaman' (enduring) sometimes conflicts with 'giving slip', but modern Japanese wellness uses similar phrases to combat work-related stress. The concept of 'Tillid' (trust) is the foundation of the welfare state. Giving slip on control is only possible because Danes trust that the system and other people will catch them.

Preposition Trap
Never use 'af' or 'over' after 'give slip'. It is always 'på'.
