Areas of InterestNegotiations, Ethical decision-making, Sleep, Organizational behavior

Brian Gunia joined the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School in 2011. He is a Professor of Management. Brian studies three ways that people commonly jeopardize their careers: by acting unethically, negotiating ineffectively, and sleeping insufficiently. Instead of focusing on self-defeating choices themselves, however, he focuses on simple, theoretically-motivated measures that might enable individuals to act more ethically, negotiate more effectively, and sleep longer or better. Brian is the author of a negotiation blog called Life's Negotiable and a negotiation book called The Bartering Mindset. Prior to joining academia, Brian worked as a consultant at Deloitte.
