Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson talks about his ascent of Mount Everest on Monday during the Associate Director for Administration (ADA) directorate leadership retreat in Santa Fe. Johnson's talk focused on how goal-setting, strategy-execution, perseverance and sometimes a bit of luck are required to accomplish great things in life.
