#215. Why Good Company Culture Is a Backbone to Organizational Success With Niall Wogan

As Peter Drucker said - “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” That’s not to say the strategy is unimportant – rather that a good company culture is a backbone to organizational success. Don’t confuse company VALUES vs VIRTUES. So, what makes good company culture? What is it not? Niall Wogan and Greg Young - two culture 'legends’ get together to chat about what a great culture looks like and why it matters.

 

Niall Wogan
CEO and Director of VERVE Fitness

Niall ran an international furniture company and quickly doubled its revenue from $20 to $40million after taking over as Managing Director. He then decided to start doing what he would love most; building a new brand and customer-focused company that would help promote health and fitness and be a great place to come to work each day. VERVE Fitness was formed in Europe in 2017 and launched in Australia in 2019.

It has quickly established itself as the leading supplier of gym equipment and operates from its state-of-the-art showroom and HQ in Gold Coast, among the largest in the country for fitness equipment.
He has lived in Germany, South Africa, and California, making Australia the fourth continent he has lived on. He loves working out and CrossFit (when he can avoid pushing too hard and getting injured!).
