Thanks for your comment! I would love to ...Bruce,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment! I would love to get some feedback going on this topic with my other readers.<br /><br />As for my feedback I would say that you have to make the effort to be a visible part of your co-workers lives in other ways if you don't get to see them day to day. Follow them on Twitter or Facebook. Add them to your instant message list and ping them every once in a while to see how THEIR day is going. Invite them to a co-working location to spend the morning or afternoon working with you. <br /><br />The point I am making is if your company doesn't offer a formal mechanism for keeping it's team members connected (they really need me by the way but I digress) you've got to step up and do it for them. Think outside the box to find ways to keep the conversations happening, the relationships building and the work mojo mojoing. It's a challenge but I suspect if you are feeling isolated and maybe a bit disconnected you can find a few other team members who feel the same.<br /><br />Do something about it and who knows the small action you take today might just create a big movement which benefits all of your co-workers tomorrow.<br /><br />The fate of your entire company rests on your shoulders my friend.
