JOHARI WINDOW

The Johari Window: helps an individual to understand his relationship with


himself and with other group members.

Objective: to develop trust with others by disclosing information and taking


feedback.

The Johari Window model is made up of four quadrants:

1. Open Self: This quadrant shows the behavior, motives, attitudes, and
knowledge skills of an individual that he is aware of and is willing to share
it with others.

2. Blind Self: The blind self shows the state of an individual known to
others but not known to him.

3. Hidden Self: This quadrant of the Johari window shows the state of an
individual known to him but not known to the others, e.g. introverts

4. Unknown Self: the unknown self is not the mystetrious state of an


individual known to him nor others know about it.

The ultimate need is to enlarge the open self quadrant intent to establish a
fruitful relationship with the self as well with others.
