JOHARI WINDOW RESEARCH
JOHARI WINDOW RESEARCH
Interpersonal communications is the term often used to describe how communication flows. When we communicate, the communication takes place on a person-to person level regardless of whether the
setting is individual or group. How well the leader communicates his/her message depends to a large degree on how well he/she relates to two important components of the communication process-the sender and the receiver.

ARENA
The area is most effective for communications. When communicatingin this pane, the source and the receiversknow all of the information that they needto effectively communicate. This is theregion of shared information. For communication to occur in this region, allparticipants must share the same feelings,data, assumptions, and skills.
ARENA (continue)
When we are communicating in the arena quadrant of the window, we are referring to behavior, feelings, and motivation known to self and to others. This pane represents willingness to question and be questioned.
QUESTIONS?
QUESTIONS1. I am functioning in the arena pane. If I am the leader of this group and you are subordinates, what are some examples of knowledge that we might share?
Course materials, rank, etc.
QUESTIONSHow do you expect a leader who has a large arena to react with his/hersubordinates?
The individual tends to be open to others. There is an openness in bothfeedback and exposure. As a consequence there is less tendency forothers to fill in the missing information.
BLIND SPOT
Contains information that we do not know about ourselves. However, thegroup does know this information. this occurs when we communicateall kinds of information to the groupof which we were not aware. Thisinformation may be in the form of verbal cues, mannerism or the waywe say things.
