Are you looking to enhance your self-awareness and improve your relationships? The Johari's Window model might be just the tool you need.
What is Johari's Window?
Johari's Window, developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955, is a technique used to improve self-awareness, personal development, and interpersonal relationships.
The model consists of four quadrants, each representing different aspects of your personality and how they're perceived by you and others.
The Four Quadrants of Johari's Window
1. Open Self (Known to Self and Others)
This quadrant represents information about you that both you and others are aware of. It includes your visible behaviours, knowledge, skills, and attitudes that you openly share with the world.
2. Blind Self (Unknown to Self, Known to Others)
The blind area contains aspects of your personality that others can see, but you're unaware of. These might include habits, mannerisms, or behaviours that you don't recognize in yourself.
3. Hidden Self (Known to Self, Unknown to Others)
This quadrant includes information you know about yourself but choose not to share with others. It might contain your secret fears, past experiences, or hidden talents.
4. Unknown Self (Unknown to Self and Others)
The unknown area represents aspects of your personality that neither you nor others have discovered yet. These might be latent talents, untapped potential, or subconscious influences on your behaviour.
Why Use Johari’s Window for Feedback?
By focusing on feedback through the lens of Johari’s Window, you develop a more holistic approach to personal growth. It encourages self-reflection while integrating external input to improve your skills, competence, and relationships.
Remember, like learning to juggle, developing self-awareness is a skill that improves with practice. Start using Johari's Window today and watch as your understanding of yourself and others grows!
