helps people to understand their
relationship within themselves and with
others. It is otherwise called

or information processing tool.

•This region represents what is known
by a person about himself/herself and
also known by others.

6. BLIND SELF/AREA:
•This region represents what is unknown

12. PRINCIPLES OF JOHARI
WINDOW
The following three principles help to explain how it
functions:
1. A change in any one quadrant affects all other
quadrants.
2. The smaller the quadrant 1, the poorer the
communication.
3. Interpersonal learning means that a change has taken
place, so quadrant 1 is larger and one or more of the other
quadrant is smaller.

13. GOALS OF JOHARI WINDOW
The goal of applying Johari Window is :-
• To increase the size of your open self. It has
several benefits.
• To build trust with others by disclosing
information about oneself.
• To get help from others in learning about oneself
and grow as a person.

14. STEPS TO USE JOHARI
WINDOW EFFECTIVELY:-
The goal of self-awareness is
“To enlarge the area of quadrant 1 while
reducing the size of the other three
quadrants.”

15. 1.To achieve this, the first step is
• To enlarge the first quadrant by allowing the
individual to genuinely express their emotions,
identifying and accepting personal needs and
• Making them move in free, joyful and spontaneous
ways.
• This helps to explore personal thoughts , feelings,
memories and actions.

16. 2. The next step in the process is
• To reduce the size of the quadrant 2 by
listening to and learning from others .
• As we relate our perceptions to others , we
broaden ourselves,
• But such learning requires active listening
and openness to feedback from others.

17. 3.The final step involves,
• Reducing the size of the quadrant 3 by self-
disclosing or revealing the important
aspects of self to others.
• Self-disclosure is both a sign or/and a means
of achieving healthy personality.

18. DRAWBACKS / PROBLEMS OF
JOHARI WINDOW:-
The Johari window as a tool has its own drawbacks,
• Some intimate things are better not to be communicated
with others. People may further pass on information they
received or use it in a negative way.
• Some people or cultures have a very open and accepting
approach to feedback and some do not. This may end up
in terminating the relationship itself.
