INTER-PERSONEL AWARENESS & FEEDBACK PROCESS

Definition
Interpersonal awareness is the process of being aware of ones true intrinsic qualities like behaviors, attitude, perception, skills, experience etc. by himself/herself or by the other members of the group.

A Johari window is a psychological tool created by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in 1955 in the United States.

It was developed while researching group dynamics. Today the JW model is especially relevant because of the modern emphasis on soft skills, behavior, empathy, cooperation, inter-group development and interpersonal development. Interestingly, Luft and Ingham called their Johari Window model 'Johari' after combining their first names, Joseph and Harry.
