In this episode, we dive into the Johari Window, a powerful tool for self-awareness, growth, and leadership development. Created by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, the Johari Window helps individuals understand their authentic selves while also recognizing how others perceive them.
The model consists of four panes, each representing a different aspect of self-awareness:
1️⃣ The Arena (Open Self) – What you and others both know about you. Expanding this area fosters authentic leadership and strengthens your personal brand.
2️⃣ The Façade (Hidden Self) – What you know, but keep private from others. Consider what you choose to reveal and how transparency builds trust and connection.
3️⃣ The Blindspot – What others see that you don’t. Great leaders seek feedback to uncover blind spots and continuously improve.
4️⃣ The Unknown Self – Talents and abilities yet to be discovered. Growth comes from challenging yourself, taking risks, and embracing new opportunities.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Self-awareness fuels authentic leadership—expand your open self.
✅ Embrace feedback—your blind spots may hold the key to growth.
✅ Push beyond comfort zones—discover hidden talents and potential.
✅ Use this tool with your team to foster transparency, trust, and development.
💡 It’s time to open your windows and let in fresh air. What does your Johari Window look like?
