This is the lonius entry that we have known so far.

There is a thinking error that this is the new normal,

that this way that we've been forced to reconfigure how we interact,

moving from face to face, in person contact to virtual contact,

is not only a function of the times that is the way that things will be.

I actually don't believe that to be the case.

We are creatures of togetherness.

We are hard-wired to connect.

Business leaders should be mindful of their response.

Lonely workers are less motivated, less efficient,

and less productive than workers who are not.

They're more likely to quit the company that they're working from.

The challenge moving forward for business leaders,

but also the opportunity is how do we really create a sense of togetherness

amongst our workforce?

Everything's at stake and everything's to play for.

We can create a better world moving forward, a world in which capitalism

is reconnected with care and compassion and community,

a world in which we do recognise that there are times

that we have to suborn our own self-interest to the collective good.

We can use this moment as an opportunity not just to rebuild,

but to build better.
