the tasks they are given. Many times when a project is started within a company only the higher-ups are privy to what the actual final goal is. The employees below management are only shown a small piece of the pie so although they may adhere to the task at hand they do not do it with the fervor they would if they knew what their small piece of the pie was contributing to. Management may think it isn't important to tell their employees what the final goal is or that it isn't any of their concern. They may feel that the employee should come in and do the job they were hired to do regardless, which is valid, but imagine the difference in how the employee would feel about the work they were doing if they knew what they were working for. It is hard for an employee to work for something they do not believe in so consider how difficult it is for an employee to work without anything to believe in. In Holtz book Winning Every Day, we are told a story about 3 bricklayers who were asked what they were doing. The first bricklayer responded, "I am laying bricks." The second said, "I am making $17.50 an hour." The third said "I'm building the most beautiful cathedral in town. Years from now people will be able to come here and worship" (59). Of course the third understood his sense of purpose and his attitude and pride in his work was such that he saw beyond his role to the bigger picture. This is of course the type of employee every company wants to have working for them but what if we assume that the first two brick layers were unaware of what they were building, it would be hard to expect them to see further then their own task. Unfortunately, this is true in many businesses today, the employee doesn't know about the beautiful cathedral they are helping build they only know how many bricks to lay, where to lay them and how much they will be paid for their work.
