At a time when "thought leadership" flows trippingly off too many tongues too quickly in the consulting profession, Watson Wyatt Worldwide Director of U.S. Benefits Consulting Sylvester Schieber simply rolls his eyes at the term.
He speaks with modesty, but his actions, research, and consulting are exceedingly deep, broad, and timely. That package, a 5th-century B.C.–era thought leader once noted, defines a superior man. Schieber would likely roll his eyes at the Confucius mention, too, but he might appreciate the historical reference.
Schieber's interest in understanding history to help improve current business decision- and policy-making helps fuel his research and consulting. His insights, white papers, and treatises are regularly cited in the lengthier analyses by top economic and political columnists such as Robert J. Samuelson that grace the pages of the Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, and other top publications.
