2. • The Johari Window is a powerful model
developed in 1955 by Joseph Luft and
Harry Ingham to help individuals and
groups understand and improve their
communication and relationships. This
model provides a framework for exploring
self-awareness and the dynamics of
information sharing between people
3.
4. • The Johari Window is divided into four quadrants, each
representing different categories of information:
• Open Area: This quadrant represents information known
to both the individual and others. It includes
facts, behaviors, feelings, and experiences that are
openly shared and discussed.
• Blind Area: This quadrant represents information
unknown to the individual but known to others. It includes
blind spots, unconscious biases, and feedback that has
not been received or integrated.
5. • Hidden Area: This quadrant represents information
known to the individual but unknown to others. It includes
private thoughts, feelings, experiences, and values that
are not readily shared with others.
• Unknown Area: This quadrant represents information
unknown to both the individual and others. It includes
unconscious motivations, hidden talents, and unexplored
areas of potential.
6. • The Johari Window offers several benefits for individuals
and groups, including:
• Improved Self-Awareness: The model helps individuals
gain a deeper understanding of their
strengths, weaknesses, and communication styles.
• Enhanced Communication: By increasing openness and
decreasing blind spots, the model facilitates more
effective and authentic communication.
7. • 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.
