The Johari Window is a cognitive psychological tool used to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships. Based on self-disclosure and feedback, the Johari Window serves to improve the understanding between individuals within a team or in a group setting and build relationships. Developed by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham (the word "Johari" comes from Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham). Two key ideas behind the tool are:
That individuals can build trust between themselves by disclosing information about themselves; and
That they can learn about themselves and come to terms with personal issues with the help of feedback from others.
By explaining the concept of the Johari Window a facilitator can help team members gain a better understanding of the value of self-disclosure, and gently encourage people to give and accept feedback. When done with sensitivity, this tool can help people build more-trusting relationships with one another, resolve issues and thereby work more effectively as a team.
To gain a better understanding of this concept, in your groups view either of these powerpoint presentations:
