Kodoku: Beautiful line between loneliness and loneliness in Japan
Recent highlights:
1. The varied perceptions toward being alone may stem from how in Japanese, solitude and loneliness are described using the same word, kodoku, says Junko Okamoto, a communications strategist and author of Sekai-ichi Kodoku na Nihon no Ojisan, (The Loneliest People in the World: Japan's Middle-aged Men).
2. Loneliness, needless to say, is a global phenomenon, and nations around the world are increasingly examining the mental state as a public health concern, says Atsushi Manabe, a writer and critic who has written about loneliness and Japan's ohitorisama culture

2. While most organizations have built-in methods and procedures for giving feedback to employees, such as regular 1:1 meetings, I've found that many companies lack processes for giving feedback to freelancers, contractors or other members of their virtual talent bench.
3. Increasing the ratio of positive to negative feedback creates a culture where feedback is valued, not feared
