Uses of Johari Window
Johari Window has several usages in the organizational setting such as
follows:

1
• By taking into consideration the 3rd quadrant or the
hidden area, we can try to understand the personal
aspirations and motivations or priorities of a team
member which the leader is unaware of. Such
hidden aspirations cause inadequate contribution or
misdirected efforts of that member.

2
• The feedback provided to someone brings information
which is in the 2nd quadrant or blind area to open
area which helps in improvement and learning.
