Using JoHari Window for Self Awareness

2 Hour Topic

Employees, Supervisors, Managers, Directors and Executives

In 1955 a pair of American psychologists, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingram (JoHari) conceived a simple but powerful model for exploring two of the most basic sources of relevant information that underlie our ability to communicate with effectiveness and, by extension, our ability to effectively coordinate action with others as leaders and professionals in organizations. These sources of information give us insight into the way we present ourselves and interact with others in the world, allowing us to adapt our thinking and to choose our behavior when we communicate with others in a wide variety of circumstances. The two sources of information that serve as an underpinning for the JoHari communication model or Window are: 1) self; and 2) others.
