Johari Window
The Model Joe Luft and Harry Ingham
The Model
The Johari Window model is a disclosure / feedback model of self awareness, an information processing tool. The Johari Window actually represents information – feelings, experience, views, knowledge, attitudes, skills, intentions, motivation, etc. within or about a person – in relation to their group, from four perspectives, which are described below.
The Johari Window model can also be used to represent the same information for a group in relation to other groups. Johari Window terminology refers to self and others: self means oneself, i.e., the person subject to the Johari Window analysis. Others means other people in the person’s group or team.
1. Open or Free Area – what is known by the person about him / herself and is also known by others.
2. Blind Area – what is unknown by the person about him / herself but which others know.
3. Hidden Area – what the person knows about him / herself that others do not know. It is also called the façade.
4. Unknown Area – what is unknown by the person about him / herself and is also unknown by others.
Group members and managers can take some responsibility for helping an individual to reduce their blind area – in turn increasing the open area – by giving sensitive feedback and encouraging disclosure. Managers should promote a climate of non-judgmental feedback, and group response to individual disclosure, which reduces fear and therefore encourages both processes to happen. The extent to which an individual seeks feedback, and the issues on which feedback is sought, must always be at the individual’s own discretion.
