Alchemy for Managers Weekly Tip – guest post from Paul Matthews
I’ll bet that you like a good story. I know that I do. If it’s a good one, I would also bet that you remember it and tell it to others.

The Clerk of the Works at the construction site of a great new religious building asked the four stonemasons what they considered their job
function to be:
- The first said “I’m cutting stone.”
- The second said “I’m carving a pillar.”
- The third said “I’m building a great and noble monument.”
- The fourth said “I’m serving God and Humankind.”
He invited the fourth to join him on the management team.
