CEO back in the mail room

CNN states, "Small businesses have shed an estimated 1.6 million jobs this year. That leaves the remaining staffers to pick up the workload left behind -- and even bosses are pitching in. With their employee rosters cut to the bone, business owners are going back to the basics, re-learning to do tasks they may not have handled in years."

When small businesses are started, business owners handle everything from emptying the trash to ordering the paper. As the business grows owners and mangers focus on the overall well being of the company but this does not mean they should only know how to operate their business on paper; in fact business owners and mangers need to know how to physically run their business, stepping in from time to time. "In a small business -- if the business is a successful business -- you probably always have the manager rolling up their sleeves."
