The Johari Window is the psychological model developed by Joseph Luft and
Harrington Ingham that helps an individual to understand his relationship with
himself and with other group members.
The Johari Window model is made up of four quadrants that explain the overall
relationship of an individual with himself and with other group members. These
are as follows:
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
The ultimate need is to enlarge the open self quadrant with the intent to
establish a fruitful relationship with the self as well with others such that the
work can be performed efficiently when working as a team.
