Career

In 1974 Siedel joined the faculty of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, where he has served as Associate Dean. He was a visiting professor at Stanford University and Harvard University, a Visiting Scholar at Berkeley, a Parsons Fellow at the University of Sydney, and a Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University's Wolfson College. He is a Life Fellow of the Michigan State Bar Foundation. In addition to his courses at the University of Michigan, he has taught negotiation worldwide, including in Hong Kong, Thailand, South Korea, India, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and Brazil, and he currently teaches annually in Croatia,[2] Italy,[3] and Luxembourg.

Siedel has served on several boards of directors, including The Washington Campus, the William Davidson Institute, AIESEC, and Medic-Alert.

In 2014, he developed a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on "Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills".[4][5][6] The course ranked second on a list of the ten most popular business courses, and hundreds of thousands of learners have joined the course. This course was followed in 2016 with a popular MOOC on "The Three Pillar Model for Business Decisions: Strategy, Law & Ethics".[7]

Siedel 's approach to negotiation strategy combines theory with practical advice.[8] This approach is summarized in his book on Negotiating for Success: Essential Strategies and Skills and in numerous media interviews.[9][10][11] He is well known for his work in the fields of proactive law[12][13] and alternative dispute resolution. He has coauthored two books and other publications on proactive law with Helena Haapio, the founder and leader of the Proactive Law Movement in Europe.[14][15] He also created the three pillar model for business decisions, which enables business to create value through a framework that combines strategy, law and ethics.[16]
