Conveying Influence – Leadership Beyond Titles
In a world where leadership is often mistaken for authority and power, Conveying Influence by Matthew Ogieva redefines what it truly means to lead. This deeply insightful book explores leadership as an act of influence, grounded not in titles or positions but in authenticity, empathy, and moral strength.

His book guides readers on a journey of self-discovery, emphasizing that true leadership starts from within long before it appears externally.
The Seven Pillars of Leadership
Matthew introduces readers to his signature concept—the Seven Pillars of Leadership, which define the architecture of influence:
- Probe – Ask the right questions and challenge assumptions.
- Plan – Establish direction with strategic intent.
- Perspective – See beyond the obvious; understand diverse viewpoints.
- Persuasion – Lead with empathy, clarity, and conviction.
- Proficiency – Build competence through discipline and mastery.
- Progress – Commit to growth as a continuous journey.
- Priority – Stay aligned with what truly matters.
These pillars form the foundation for developing leaders who inspire trust, build a legacy, and transform institutions from within.
