Hello! My name is Bill Blake,[br]and today I'd like to

0:00:09.208,0:00:13.762
talk to you about another useful[br]tool called the JoHari Window Model.

0:00:13.762,0:00:16.566
This model can be used effectively[br]in helping us understand

0:00:16.566,0:00:19.891
ourselves and in building [br]relationships with others.

0:00:20.980,0:00:25.374
The Johari Window Model[br]was developed in the mid 1950s

0:00:25.374,0:00:27.978
by Joesph Luft and Harry Ingram.

0:00:27.978,0:00:29.677
Hence the name JoHari.

0:00:30.429,0:00:33.515
While primary a model of [br]understanding between two people,

0:00:33.515,0:00:36.301
it can also be used to [br]develop a greater understanding

0:00:36.301,0:00:39.757
of ourselves and to facilitate[br]personal growth.

0:00:40.306,0:00:42.872
It is also useful in [br]discovering your strengths,

0:00:42.872,0:00:46.459
your blind spots and areas[br]to further explore.

0:00:46.998,0:00:50.431
Because of the nature of the [br]information shared in the process

0:00:50.431,0:00:53.924
the JoHari Window works [br]best in a high trust environment.

0:00:55.105,0:00:57.760
The model consists of [br]four quadrants.

0:00:57.760,0:01:00.675
The first quadrant is called[br]the Open Area, and contains

0:01:00.675,0:01:03.494
information about our [br]behavior and motivation.

0:01:03.494,0:01:06.918
that is known both by [br]ourselves and by others.

0:01:06.918,0:01:10.053
The second quadrant is [br]our private, Hidden Area

0:01:10.053,0:01:12.774
and contains information [br]about ourselves which we

0:01:12.774,0:01:16.158
are unwilling to share, perhaps[br]because of trust issues.

0:01:17.193,0:01:20.830
The third quadrant is [br]referred to as the Blind Area.

0:01:20.830,0:01:22.881
And contains things about[br]ourselves that are known

0:01:22.881,0:01:25.918
to others but are unknown to us.

0:01:25.918,0:01:28.705
Other people know these[br]things but are not willing

0:01:28.705,0:01:31.773
to share them with[br]us for whatever reason.

0:01:31.773,0:01:34.042
The fourth quadrant is [br]the Unknown Area

0:01:34.042,0:01:36.913
Behavior Opinion or Motivation

0:01:36.913,0:01:40.865
that neither we or others [br]are aware of.

0:01:40.865,0:01:44.886
Obviously the goal of the model[br]is to make the open area as large

0:01:44.886,0:01:48.974
as possible. Probably the easiest[br]way to expand the open area

0:01:48.974,0:01:52.661
is to move more into the hidden [br]area, this can be done through

0:01:52.661,0:01:54.346
self disclosure.

0:01:54.346,0:01:58.502
You simply choose to share[br]or expose more of yourself.

0:01:58.502,0:02:03.504
Expanding the open area into[br]the blind area, involves both asking for

0:02:03.504,0:02:06.642
and receiving constructive [br]feedback.

0:02:06.642,0:02:10.030
And then self disclosure and [br]feedback among the participants

0:02:10.030,0:02:13.733
will provide the shared knowledge[br]that will move you more and more

0:02:13.733,0:02:15.935
into the unknown area.

0:02:15.935,0:02:19.672
Greater trust, feedback and the[br]sharing of information will

0:02:19.672,0:02:22.323
continue to enlarge the [br]Open Area.

0:02:23.660,0:02:27.614
Sharing of feedback is a lot[br]like The Green Tail story.

0:02:27.614,0:02:31.883
If somebody says you have a [br]green tail, that person is crazy.

0:02:31.883,0:02:36.589
If two people say you have a [br]green tail, it is a conspiracy.

0:02:36.589,0:02:41.059
If seven people say you have a [br]green tail, you turn around and look.

0:02:41.059,0:02:44.881
It does not mean that they correct,[br]it just that they must have a

0:02:44.881,0:02:49.035
reason for thinking the way they [br]do and you need to explore

0:02:49.035,0:02:50.237
that reason.

0:02:51.353,0:02:54.919
Feedback must be constructive[br]to be of any value.

0:02:54.919,0:02:58.313
Obviously its purpose is to [br]help and not hurt.

0:02:58.313,0:03:02.593
It should be specific and focused [br]on behavior that can be changed.

0:03:03.231,0:03:06.253
For practical reasons it should also[br]be limited to the amount of

0:03:06.253,0:03:09.270
feedback that the targeted [br]person can use.

0:03:10.238,0:03:15.045
Feedback should also be clarified[br]to avoid any misunderstanding.

0:03:15.045,0:03:17.646
And like that old (inaudible) we saw

0:03:17.646,0:03:22.746
It's got to accentuate the positive [br]and eliminate the negative.

0:03:23.642,0:03:27.740
The major advantages of the [br]JoHari Model include

0:03:27.740,0:03:31.594
It helps individuals understand[br]their interpersonal relationships

0:03:31.594,0:03:33.579
and communication.

0:03:33.579,0:03:37.367
It can also be used to advantaging[br]group dynamics, team development

0:03:37.367,0:03:40.469
and all forms of business [br]relationships.

0:03:40.469,0:03:44.389
The model can also build [br]self awareness through both

0:03:44.389,0:03:46.583
disclosure and feedback.

0:03:46.583,0:03:50.580
And it leads to a greater understanding[br]of yourself plus a greater

0:03:50.580,0:03:52.381
understanding of others.

0:03:53.648,0:03:56.240
So, thanks for watching our[br]short video.

0:03:56.240,0:03:58.855
And remember the words of [br]Zig Ziglar,

0:03:58.855,0:04:02.057
"You can have anything you want[br]in life if you just help enough

0:04:02.057,0:04:04.276
"other people get what they want"
