We increasingly live in a very hands-off society in the U.S. If a person were to put their hand on the shoulder of a colleague at work to say, "great work," it could be misconstrued as inappropriate. Therefore, for liability purposes, we are being coached by the organizations we represent in our work lives to not use the innate gestures that indicate closeness and intimacy. We are throwing out the baby with the bath water, so to speak.
