Disclosure and Feedback of Johari Window:
As indicated in Figure, movement along the vertical and horizontal dimensions enables individuals to
change their interpersonal styles by increasing the amount of communication in the public or shared area.
To enlarge the public area, a person may move vertically by reducing the closed area. As a person behaves
less defensively and becomes more open, trusting and risk taking, others will tend to react with increased
openness and trust. This process termed, disclosure, involves the open disclosure of one’s feelings,
thoughts and candid feedback to others. The openness of communication leads more to open and
congruent relationships.
The behavioral process used to enlarge the public area horizontally termed, feedback, allows us to reduce
the blind area. The only way to become aware of our blind spots is for others to give information or
feedback about our behavior.
The blind area can only be reduced with the help and cooperation of others, and this requires a willingness
to invite and accept such feedback.
Almost every organization finds that poor communication is the most important problem preventing
organizational effectiveness.
