    • The Johari Window is a communication model that is used to improve understanding between individuals. The word "Johari" is taken from the names of Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, who developed the model in 1955.

      There are two key ideas behind the tool:

      1. That you can build trust with others by disclosing information about yourself.
      2. That, with the help of feedback from others, you can learn about yourself and come to terms with personal issues.

      By explaining the idea of the Johari Window, you can help team members to understand the value of self-disclosure, and you can encourage them to give, and accept, constructive feedback.Done sensitively, this can help people build better, more trusting relationships with one another, solve issues, and work more effectively as a team.
