7. Johari window four regions -
model diagram
 The Johari Window is based on a four-square grid
–
 it is like a window with four 'panes'.
 each quadrant the same size.
 The JohariWindow 'panes‘ can be changed in size to
reflect the relevant proportions of each type
of 'knowledge' of/about a particular person in a given
group or team situation. In new groups or teams the
open free space for any team member is small
because shared awareness is relatively small. As the
team member becomes better established and
known, so the size of the team member's open free
area quadrant increases.
