- organization more alert
- better service
- more improvements per employee
- less executive/director style pompous ass people
- more ideas per employee
- not considered dangerous by large competitors
- more business oriented
- better economic and financial awareness amongst employees
- less waste
- smaller ecological footprint
- more responsibility and accountability
- better internal communication
I'm not saying all these are true for everyone in all circumstances. They could be for most small organizations most of the time.
