Brian Gunia

Brian Gunia, PhD (Management & Organizations, Northwestern University) joined the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School in 2011. He is an Associate Professor in the research track. 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 individuals can take to act more ethically, negotiate more effectively, and sleep longer or better. Brian is the founder of the Johns Hopkins Business in Government (BIG) Initiative.
