Pat Lynes has been consistently at the forefront of business evolutions impacting teams and human capital management. Lynes has utilized his experience as a senior figure in the UK recruitment sector to challenge the dominance of large consulting firms and inspire the future of work by founding Sullivan & Stanley (S&S).

We spoke with Lynes on his entrepreneurial journey, how managers today should nurture teams differently, and why he believes that senior leaders need to better position themselves for a future where they control their options related to work.

Some key takeaways from our conversation:

- This is why he wrote The Disruptive Executive book which offers a practical roadmap for executives to transition to a plural portfolio executive arrangement.

- He believes that practicing gratitude can significantly impact one's outlook on life, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

- He urges business leaders to implement programs focused on health and wellness, as well as strategies to position employees for success citing that this is crucial for team development and collective growth.

- Entrepreneurship is a team effort that requires prioritizing employee development and well-being for enhanced engagement and performance.
