Abstract

The Johari Window is a figure Luft and Ingham (Human Relations Training News 5:6–7, 1961) developed to stimulate self-awareness and examine social relations. It distinguishes between aspects of a person’s attitudes, behaviours, and habits known and unknown to a person and to others. The most interesting quadrant in the Johari Window from a communication climate perspective is the blind spot. There we find the aspects that are unknown to a person but known to others. The communication climate at work affects the time it takes for information to move from the blind spot into the arena, where it is known both to the person and to others. The figure can also be applied more broadly to what goes on in the workplace or in a particular project. The information about the progress and obstacles in a project should be in the arena but may be hidden away in one of the other three quadrants of the Johari Window for various reasons.
