Good leadership skills

I currently work in a small warehouse and with three other people. I enjoy what i do,but its not always plain sailing. I suppose one of my biggest concerns is that because the company is so small and family owed, there's not enough planning done which make my job so much more difficult than it needs to be. I'm relied upon to oversee day to day operations in the warehouse, but are also on a need to know basis which hampers and ultimately slows operations in the warehouse down. The lack of management's communications also add to the unnecessary high costs. Over the years i learned the importance of good communication and how beneficial it could be to the company.I pride myself in my work and the fact that i'm seen as the ' GO TOO' man by everyone in the company. The lack of planning and 'need to know' culture is my main challenge as I have to provide answers when things don't go as it should

Pros: Learned how to get things done under pressure and taking initiative. Decision making and responsibility.
Cons: Due to the size of the company there's no room for growth.
