What is Johari Window?
1. Named after the first names of its
inventors – Joseph Luft & Harry
Ingham
2. Communication window relating to
giving and receiving information
3. A useful model describing the
process of human interaction

Description
This model suggests that a person’s self is composed of several parts, which
are represented by the four panes of a window. Through the window we can
look at the different parts of our self.
Luft and Ingham observed that there are aspects of our personality that we're
open about, and other elements that we keep to ourselves. At the same time,
there are things that others see in us that we're not aware of. As a result, you
can draw up a four-box grid, which includes a fourth group of traits that are
unknown to anyone.
The application of the Johari Window comes in opening up the public area, so
making the other three areas as small as possible. This is done by regular and
honest exchange of feedback, and a willingness to disclose personal feelings.
People around you will understand what "makes you tick", and what you find
easy or difficult to do, and can provide appropriate support. And of course
you can then do the same for them.
