Ask five people in a family business who can approve a $10,000 expense, and you'll often get five different answers.
Without clear authority levels, every decision big or small routes through the same one or two people. Not because it needs to. Because no one ever defined otherwise.
The businesses that move fastest aren't the ones with the fewest rules. They're the ones with the clearest ones who can decide what, up to what amount, without asking first.
Speed is not the opposite of structure. It's a result of it.
