JOHARI WINDOW
Johari Window
Founders
• The Johari Window model was devised by
American psychologists Joseph Luft and
Harry Ingham in 1955, while researching
group dynamics at the University of
California Los Angeles.
Influence
Today the Johari Window model is especially
relevant due to modern emphasis on, and
influence of:-
•soft skills
•behaviour
•empathy
•cooperation
•inter-group development
•interpersonal development.
Use of Johari Model
• The Johari Window soon became a widely
used model for understanding and training
self-awareness, personal development,
improving communications, interpersonal
relationships, group dynamics, team
development and inter-group relationships.
What actually Model Represents
• The Johari Window model is also referred to
as a 'disclosure/feedback model of self
awareness', and by some people an
'information processing tool'.
• The Johari Window actually represents
information - feelings, experience, views,
attitudes, skills, intentions, motivation, etc -
within or about a person - in relation to their
group, from four perspectives.
Areas of Model
• The four Johari Window perspectives are
called 'regions' or 'areas' or 'quadrants'. Each of
these regions contains and represents the
information - feelings, motivation, etc –
known about the person, in terms of whether
the information is known or unknown by the
person, and whether the information is known
or unknown by others in the group.
Johari window four quadrants
1. what is known by the person about him/herself and is
also known by others - open area, open self, free area, free
self, or 'the arena‘.
2. what is unknown by the person about him/herself but
which others know - blind area, blind self, or 'blindspot‘.
3. what the person knows about him/herself that others do
not know - hidden area, hidden self, avoided area, avoided
self or 'facade‘.
4. what is unknown by the person about him/herself and is
also unknown by others - unknown area or unknown self.
Johari quadrant 1
• Johari region 1 is also known as the 'area of
free activity'. This is the information about the
person - behaviour, attitude, feelings, emotion,
knowledge, experience, skills, views, etc -
known by the person ('the self') and known
by the group ('others').
Johari quadrant 2
• Johari region 2 is what is known about a
person by others in the group, but is
unknown by the person him/herself.
Johari quadrant 3
• what is known to ourselves but kept hidden
from, and
therefore unknown to others.
Johari quadrant 4
• It contains information, feelings, talent
abilities, aptitudes, experiences etc, that are
unknown to the person him/herself and
unknown to others in the group.
Drawbacks of Johari window
• Some thing are perhaps better not to
Communicated (like mental or health problem)
• Some people may pass on the information they
received further then we desire.
• Some people may react negatively.
• Using johari window is useless exercise if it is
not linked to the activities that reinforce positive
behavior or that correct negative behavior.
• Some cultures have a very open and accepting
approach to feedback and others do not.
• Some people take personal feedback offensively.

Editor's Notes

  1. The aim in any group should always be to develop the 'open area' for every person, because when we work in this area with others we are at our most effective and productive, and the group is at its most productive too. The open free area, or 'the arena', can be seen as the space where good communications and cooperation occur, free from distractions, mistrust, confusion, conflict and misunderstanding.
  2. This blind area is not an effective or productive space for individuals or groups. This blind area could also be referred to as ignorance about oneself, or issues in which one is deluded. A blind area could also include issues that others are deliberately with holding from a person. We all know how difficult it is to work well when kept in the dark. No-one works well when subject to 'mushroom management'. People who are 'thick-skinned' tend to have a large 'blind area'.
  3. This hidden or avoided self represents information, feelings, etc, anything that a person knows about him/self, but which is not revealed or is kept hidden from others. The hidden area could also include sensitivities, fears, hidden agendas, manipulative intentions, secrets - anything that a person knows but does not reveal, for whatever reason. It's natural for very personal and private information and feelings to remain hidden, indeed, certain information, feelings and experiences have no bearing on work, and so can and should remain hidden. However, typically, a lot of hidden information is not very personal, it is work- or performance-related, and so is better positioned in the open area
  4. These unknown issues take a variety of forms: they can be feelings, behaviours, attitudes, capabilities, aptitudes, which can be quite close to the surface, and which can be positive and useful, or they can be deeper aspects of a person's personality, influencing his/her behaviour to various degrees. Large unknown areas would typically be expected in younger people, and people who lack experience or self-belief.
