<p>In this episode Todd and Alex interview Chris Forando, Sr. Director, Head of Organization Effectiveness at Subway. Chris explores how an organization is like a human body - its structure its skeleton,  its people its muscle - and dissects the organizational joints, ligaments, and tendons that enable alignment at scale. He shares takeaways from his time as a Senior Instructor at the US Coast Guard Academy&#39;s obstacle course &quot;The Crucible&quot; - an 8-hour experience designed to test cadets&#39; physical, mental and cognitive capabilities and facilitate the emergence of leadership. Chris also touches on Edward Lorenz&#39;s chaos theory and Ikujiro Nonaka&#39;s theories of organizational knowledge.</p>

From where does deep capability emerge? What gives rise to the gravitas and perspective that marks our greatest leaders? Is it work experience, in-the-trenches wisdom, innovative thinking?

NovoEd’s new podcast - Wildly Capable - aims to answer these questions through conversations with extraordinary HR, Talent and L&amp;D leaders from wildly different backgrounds. It explores the unexpected sources of their deep capabilities: unusual set-backs, non-linear career paths, unique mentors, interdisciplinary experiences and revelations from the field.
