    The Johari Window: A Model for Self-

    Understanding

    information

    – only you know about yourself
    – only others know about you
    – nobody knows

    The Johari Window

    • Your willingness or unwillingness to


    engage is self-disclosure, and listen to
    feedback, has a lot to do with your
    understanding of yourself and others’
    understanding of you.

    The Four Panes of the
    Johari Window
    • Open
    • Blind
    • Hidden
    • Unknown

    Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 8-4


    Open Area

    • Represents the “public” or “awareness”


    area and contains information that both
    you and others know
    • Information that you don’t mind
    admitting
    • Gets bigger over time as relationships
    mature

    Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 8-5


    Open Area

    • A productive relationship is related to


    the amount of mutually held information
    • Building a relationship involved
    expanding this area

    Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 8-6


    Blind Area

    • Information about yourself that others


    know but you are not yet aware
    • Others may see you differently than you
    see yourself
    • Effective relations strive to reduce this
    area
    • Open communication encourages
    people to give you feedback

    Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 8-7


    Hidden Area

    • Information that you know that others do


    not
    • Private feelings, needs, and past
    experiences that you prefer to keep to
    yourself
    • If this area is too large, you can be
    perceived as lacking authenticity

    Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 8-8


    Unknown Area

    • Information that is unknown to you and


    to others
    • Areas of unrecognized talent, motives,
    or early childhood memories that
    influence your behavior
    • Always present, never disappears
    • Open communication can expose some
    of this area

    Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 8-9


    Johari Window

    • The four panes are interrelated


    • Changes to one pane impact the size of
    the others
    • As relationships develop, the open area
    should grow
