The speaker frames these pillars through leadership and community perspectives, emphasizing that sustainability means preserving what you want to see in the future rather than preserving everything.

Chapters

Heard you talk about four pillars of sustainability a few times. Can you tell us first what they are and then I'm going to have you kind of talk about each one in more detail. Sure. And a lot of people call, it's called many different things. There's tons of acronyms for it. I think one of them is like the three Ps so people, prosperity and planet. Along those similar lines, the way that I look at the four pillars of sustainability is human, social, business or economic and environmental. And those lens especially through the eyes of leadership really can help you preserve. And again sustainability isn't about preserving everything. It's about specifically preserving what you want to see in the future. And so using those four pillars can really help shape you as a person, as a leader, as someone who is leading in a community or a greater community like a city or a region. And so those are the four pillars as I see it.
