9 Johari window

HR

a communication model that facilitates analysis of both how someone gives and receives information and the dynamics of interpersonal communication. The Johari window was developed by Joseph Luft and Henry Ingram. It is often represented in the form of a grid divided into four sections, each of which represents a type of communication exchange. First, there is the open self: you have awareness of the impact you have on the other and the impact they have on you, so that the risk of interpersonal conflict is minimized. The second sector covers the hidden self: you have awareness of your impact on others, but not of their impact on you. This leads to defensive behavior in which you seek to hide what you want and increases the possibility of interpersonal conflict. In the third sector, or blind self, you have awareness of what the other wants, but you lack self-awareness of the impact of your communication or actions. Finally, there is the undiscovered self: you lack selfawareness and are either unaware of or cannot understand the other. Although the Johari window can be used in a number of situations, it is most frequently used as a tool for training or coaching purposes, in order to provide feedback on communication skills.
