The Johari Window is a psychological model that represents a person's awareness of self and others
in terms of four quadrants. These quadrants are based on what is known or unknown to oneself and
to others. The four quadrants are: Open Area, Blind Spot, Hidden Area, and Unknown Area.

a. Open Area (Arena):

- This quadrant represents information that is known to both the person and others. It includes
things like behavior, feelings, thoughts, and experiences that are shared openly.

- Example: Imagine you're a project manager. Your ability to organize tasks and communicate
effectively is evident to both you and your team members. This is your "Open Area."

b. Blind Spot:
 - The Blind Spot contains aspects of oneself that are unknown to the individual but are apparent to
others. It's often information about behavior or traits that others observe, but the person is not
aware of.

- Example: In a team, others may notice that a team member tends to interrupt during meetings,
but the individual might not be conscious of this behavior. The interrupting behavior is in the "Blind
Spot."

c. Hidden Area (Facade):

- The Hidden Area includes information, feelings, or experiences that an individual is aware of but
chooses not to disclose to others. This may be due to personal reasons, fear, or a desire to maintain
privacy.

- Example: A colleague might be dealing with personal stress but chooses not to share it with the
team. This stress becomes part of their "Hidden Area."

d. Unknown Area:

- The Unknown Area represents information that is neither known to the person nor to others. It
includes undiscovered aspects of personality, potential, or unconscious motives.

- Example: A team member may have a hidden talent for leadership that has not yet been revealed
or recognized by either the individual or the team. This undiscovered leadership potential is in the
"Unknown Area."

Johari Window and Communication:

- The Johari Window is often used in communication and self-awareness training to improve
interpersonal relationships and team dynamics.

- Through open and honest communication, individuals can expand the Open Area by sharing more
about themselves and receiving feedback about their Blind Spot.

- The goal is to increase the Open Area while minimizing the Blind Spot and exploring the Hidden
Area for better understanding and collaboration.

Understanding and applying the Johari Window concept can lead to increased self-awareness,
improved communication, and stronger relationships in both personal and professional settings.
