What's the meaning of have the balls to do ?
E.G.
I work for another company that lends me out to pussies like Steve's boss who don't have the balls to sack their own employees

Also, please be aware that this is a very informal phrase, and mildly vulgar.
Balls is slang for testicles. So it's saying that one is manly enough to do something.
