In a Crisis, Negotiation Skills Become Even More Essential

Strong negotiation skills always come in handy. But they can be especially useful at a time of lockdown when your home becomes not just the setting for your personal relationships but also your remote office where work tasks, conference calls, and video meetings must be juggled throughout the day.

Stacey Lee, an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, addresses these and other topics in a video, “Introduction to the Art of Negotiation,” for the Hopkins at Home website.

A member of the Carey full-time faculty since 2008, Lee is an expert in business law, health law, and negotiation. She earned her law degree from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1995 and, before joining Carey, worked as a trial lawyer and corporate in-house counsel. She is on the roster of the Fulbright Specialist Program, an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and World Learning.

The Hopkins at Home site, launched in April 2020 and organized in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association, gathers lectures, mini-courses, JHU@TED talks, and other readily-downloadable resources from the university and offers them free to the public.

For the Hopkins at Home site this spring, Lee also conducted a four-part mini-course on negotiation skills.
