    The Johari window model is used to enhance self-awareness and understanding between individuals. It represents a person as four panes that classify information about them as known or unknown to themselves and others. The open area is information known to both, while the blind spot is unknown to the individual but known to others. The hidden area is known only to the individual, and the unknown area is unknown to both. The model aims to increase openness through feedback and socialization to reduce what is hidden or unknown. It can be used for team building by having members assess themselves and each other, and for intervention strategies by providing insight into individuals' attributes.

    What is Johari Window Model?

    The Johari window model is used to enhance the individual’s perception on others. This
    model is based on two ideas- trust can be acquired by revealing information about you
    to others and learning yourselves from their feedbacks. Each person is represented by
    the Johari model through four quadrants or window pane. Each four window panes
    signifies personal information, feelings, motivation and whether that information is
    known or unknown to oneself or others in four viewpoints.

    The method of conveying and accepting feedback is interpreted in this model. A Johari
    is represented as a common window with four panes. Two of these panes represent self
    and the other two represent the part unknown to self but to others. The information
    transfers from one pane to the other as the result of mutual trust which can be achieved
    through socializing and the feedback got from other members of the group.

    1. Open/self-area or arena – Here the information about the person his attitudes,
    behavior, emotions, feelings, skills and views will be known by the person as well as by
    others. This is mainly the area where all the communications occur and the larger the
    arena becomes the more effectual and dynamic the relationship will be. ‘Feedback
    solicitation’ is a process which occurs by understanding and listening to the feedback
    from another person. Through this way the open area can be increased horizontally
    decreasing the blind spot. The size of the arena can also be increased downwards and
    thus by reducing the hidden and unknown areas through revealing one’s feelings to
    another person’s
    Delk, James Anthony P.

    2. Blind self or blind spot – Information about yourselves that others know in a group but
    you will be unaware of it. Others may interpret yourselves differently than you expect.
    The blind spot is reduced for an efficient communication through seeking feedback from
    others.

    3. Hidden area or façade – Information that is known to you but will be kept unknown
    from others. This can be any personal information which you feel reluctant to reveal.
    This includes feelings, past experiences, fears, secrets etc. we keep some of our
    feelings and information as private as it affects the relationships and thus the hidden
    area must be reduced by moving the information to the open areas.

    4. Unknown area – The Information which are unaware to yourselves as well as others.
    This includes the information, feelings, capabilities, talents etc. This can be due to
    traumatic past experiences or events which can be unknown for a lifetime. The person
    will be unaware till he discovers his hidden qualities and capabilities or through
    observation of others. Open communication is also an effective way to decrease the
    unknown area and thus to communicate effectively.

    How is it used in team buildings?

    Each team member assesses themselves and then each other using the Johari
    Window. each individual will learn more about themselves and how others perceive
    them too. This model is also used to facilitate a discussion on each team member’s
    strengths and blind spots, and how the team can better work together.

    How is it used in intervention strategies?

    Intervention referred to in organizational development is the interference of individuals,


    groups, or organizations in order to resolve conflict and therefore achieving goals. The
    Johari Window Model sets a guide on what the attributes of those individuals are both
    known and unknown whether by the person itself or others. With this data, the person
    conducting the intervention will have an effective way on how to handle different
    individuals.
