what is johari window

The Johari Window is a psychological model developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955. It is a tool used to enhance self-awareness and mutual understanding between individuals within a group. The model is based on the idea that trust can be acquired by revealing information about oneself to others and learning from their feedback. The Johari Window consists of four quadrants that represent different aspects of an individuals knowledge about themselves and others knowledge about them. It is often used in self-help groups, corporate settings, and team development to facilitate personal development, communication, and interpersonal relationships.
