Johari Window

A tool used in psychology and communication to help individuals better understand their own personality, as well as their relationships with others. It is a model that describes how individuals can increase self-awareness and improve communication by exploring four quadrants: the open area (what is known by oneself and others), the hidden area (what is known only to oneself), the blind area (what is known by others but not by oneself), and the unknown area (what is unknown by both oneself and others). The Johari Window is often used in team building, leadership development, and personal growth coaching.

In business coaching, the Johari Window model can be applied to help individuals and teams better understand their communication and self-awareness. For example, a team may have blind spots that hinder their productivity or effectiveness, which can be identified and addressed through the model’s feedback and disclosure processes. By expanding their self-awareness and reducing blind spots, individuals and teams can work more collaboratively and achieve better results.
