The following story about “The Three Bricklayers” is a popular tale that explains the different approaches to conducting business and its effect on performance:
"Once there were three bricklayers busily working at their trade. When asked what they were doing, the first man answered gruffly “I’m laying bricks,” without ever taking his eyes from his work. The second man replied, “I’m putting up a wall”. But the third man said enthusiastically and with obvious pride, “I’m building a cathedral!”"
