Johari Window: Original Management Game/Management Exercise
(For better understanding, read the older post before reading this post at http://johari-window-model.blogspot.com/2011/09/johari-window.html)
Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, creators of Johari Window concept and model had devised an exercise/game to illustrate their “Johari Window”.
You, as a management trainer or workshop coordinator, can use that game with lots of advantage to your seminar/workshop participants. This exercise is best used to explain the concept and model “Johari Window”. It is a very effective exercise on “self-awareness”, “introspection” and “self-improvement”. It explains the concepts of “feedback” and “disclosure” as well as the four well-known quadrants of Johari Window.
The exercise is best suited for training programs titled “enhancing professional and personal effectiveness”, “creativity unlimited”, “personality development”, “self-improvement”, “Johari Window”, “organizational development” etc.
The exercise is explained below:
In this exercise, in all 56 adjectives are selected to completely describe a human being. These adjectives are given below and are arranged in an alphabetic order:
First quadrant: Open self: Adjectives that are selected by both the participant himself and his fellow participants are pooled together and placed in the “open self” compartment of Johari Window. These adjectives are those adjectives or traits of the participant that both he and his fellow participants are knowing.
Second quadrant: Hidden self: Adjectives selected only by the participant himself but not by any of his fellows, are placed into the “hidden self” compartment. This information about the adjectives of the self are known only to the participant and the fellow participants do not know about them. The participant himself will have to bring these traits of his into the open and put them to use.
Third quadrant: Blind self: Adjectives that are not selected by participant himself but only by his fellows are placed into the “blind self” compartment. These are those adjectives that the participant is not knowing but others know about them. The participant can decide to invite the feedback on these from his fellow participants so that he starts knowing about his additional qualities he possess but has not used them so far.
Fourth quadrant: Dark self: Adjectives that were not selected by either participant or by his fellow participants will be placed in the “dark self” compartment. These qualities of the participant were not recognized by anyone who participated in this exercise. the concerned participant will have to take a close look at these adjectives and make a plan of action to develop some of these qualities as per his requirements.
You will now instruct the participants on making a plan of action based on this kind of mapping. They should pick up some of the adjectives/qualities that they found in their hidden self, blind self and dark self and make a plan to start putting them to use. They should specify a time line for implementing this plan of action. Also they should specify how they will use those qualities.
You can provide them necessary guidance to shape up and finalize their plan of action.
Now have a few participants make presentations of their plan of actions to you and to the rest of the participants. Make your comments after each presentation to further improve their action plan.
Wrap up the exercise by wishing the participants best of luck for implementation of their action plans.
