Leadership isn’t just about managing others — it’s about understanding yourself first.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲.
The Johari Window helps leaders enhance self-awareness and build trust by categorizing knowledge into four areas:
𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮 What you know about yourself and others also know.
𝗕𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁: What others see in you, but you don’t see in yourself.
𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮: What you know about yourself, but others don’t.
𝗨𝗻𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮: What neither you nor others know about you yet.
Expanding the Open Area leads to better communication, stronger relationships, and more effective leadership.
𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮
You have a new team leader, Priya, who is confident and communicates clearly with her team. This is part of her Open Area — strengths everyone recognizes.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁
Through 360-degree feedback, you learn her team feels she avoids conflict and hesitates to give negative feedback. This is a Blind Spot Priya wasn’t aware of.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮
Priya admits she struggles with confrontation due to fear of being disliked — something she hadn’t shared before. This moves from her Hidden Area to the Open Area.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻
To tackle the Unknown Area, you encourage Priya to work with a mentor and try new conflict resolution strategies, revealing untapped leadership skills.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:
✓ Encourages open feedback and trust.
✓ Helps leaders identify and work on hidden weaknesses.
✓ Promotes continuous self-improvement and communication.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝘀𝗸:
What’s in their Blind Spot, and how can we bring it into the Open Area?
Because true leadership growth starts with self-awareness.
