LEAVING THE CAVE
The Value of Open Communication
For Enlightened Leadership
Don Morgan, Ph.D.

The Johari Window' four panes (regions, areas, or quadrants) are as follows, showing the quadrant numbers and commonly used names:

1. What I know about myself and others also know about me—Open area, open self, free area, free self, or 'the arena'

2. What I do not know about myself that others know about me—Blind area,
blind self, or 'blind spot'

3. What I know about myself that others do not know about me—Façade, hidden area, hidden self, avoided area, avoided self

4. What I do not know about myself and others do not know about me—
Unknown area or unknown self

The Johari Window is a simple and useful tool for illustrating and improving self awareness and mutual understanding between individuals within a group. Panes 2 and 4 are the areas that we want to shrink. Think of panes 2 and 4 as a personal cave. Listening to others helps us leave the cave by shrinking our blind areas. Being receptive is one of the most important counter-intuitive characteristics of strong leaders. In addition to the challenge of reducing one’null own blind spot, a true leader will address one of the common problems in organizations. Too often, the “shared vision” for the organization does not filter down to the people in the frontline positions.
