Johari Window (Luft and Ingham 1955) is a popular technique to help people better understand themselves and their relationships. Self assessment questionnaires are available and provide a subjective map of personality awareness. The model has wide applications for personal and team coaching.
- Open – the area of honest and open communication – make this area as large as possible for more effective relationships and better team work ?
- Hidden – reduce this area by disclosing information about yourself e.g. small things that show your vulnerability and build trust or things that help others to understand you better ?
- Blind – reduce this area by seeking and receiving feedback ?
- Unknown – what potential do you have? Are you in denial about anything?
Taken from the A-Z Coaching Handbook by Clare Smale where you will find a comprehensive A-Z, plus a full list of references.
