All in all, social isolation is not good for us, and we should make every effort to avoid it. Being social and having friends carries many psychological and health benefits. Friendship protects us against disease as well as cognitive decline, allows us to be more engaged with the tasks that we have to do, and helps us become more embedded within, and trusting of, the wider community within which we live.

There are two steps we take at Netflix to minimize fear around the office. The first step is that any employee who is feeling the type of anxiety that Marta and Derek discussed is encouraged to use what we call the “Keeper Test Prompt” as soon as possible. That almost always improves the situation. During your next one-to-one with your boss ask the following question: “IF I WERE THINKING OF LEAVING, HOW HARD WOULD YOU WORK TO CHANGE MY MIND?”

When we say an agreement is between two or more people, the two people can be “me” and “myself.” Many leaders are much better at being impeccable in their agreements with others than they are at keeping agreements with themselves. An agreement with yourself might look like this: “I agree to work out three times a week,” or “I agree to meditate every day for twenty minutes,” or “I agree to walk out of the office every day at five o’clock.” Breaking agreements with yourself undermines integrity just as much as breaking an agreement with another. Both break the flow of energy.
