One of the blessings of small businesses, is that they don't tend to get as bogged down by red tape and bureaucratic nonsensicalness like a lot of big companies do. But that doesn't mean they don't have their share of headaches, stonewalling and pettiness that can derail goals, mess up strategy, block vision and otherwise leave the business in flux.
The thing with having bureaucratic red tape in charge of the simplest bottle of white out, is that it wastes a lot of time. And it produces nothing but unproductivity. So one of the goals of any small business has to be to "trim the fat." Make the operation as lean as possible. Cut costs, green up, and always strive to maximize output. Maximize production. Whatever the calculus that is needed to achieve this, get on board and create a conduit.
And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if it is broke, fix it fast but keep the bureaucrats out of the building.
