Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Our team has patterns that everyone outside us seems to see clearly while none of us inside it can
- I know in the abstract that I have blind spots, but I couldn’t name a single one
- I keep saying "that’s just not who I am" and steering clear of anything that doesn’t fit my picture of myself
- I keep so much of what I actually think and feel to myself that people around me are constantly guessing wrong
- Whenever I ask people how I’m doing I just get vague, polite reassurance
Practices that may help
- Use the Johari Window in team settings
Apply the window at the team level to improve shared understanding and reduce inter-member blind spots.
The Johari Window - The Johari Window
The Johari Window, developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, is a model of self-knowledge and interpersonal disclosure organized into four quadrants: Open (known to self and others), Blind (known to others, not to self), Hidden (known to self, not to others), and Unknown (known to neither). It is used in coaching and organizational development to guide feedback exchange and self-disclosure, expanding the Open area and reducing blind spots. - Map your Johari Window with a trusted person
Identify what is open, hidden, and blind in a specific relationship or role.
The Johari Window - Expand the Unknown quadrant through challenge and experience
Try things outside your current self-concept — undiscovered capacity lives in the Unknown quadrant.
The Johari Window - Expand the Open area through deliberate self-disclosure
Share what you know about yourself that others don’t — reducing the Hidden quadrant.
The Johari Window - Actively seek feedback on your blind spots
Ask specifically for what others see that you might not — with enough specificity to get honest answers.
The Johari Window - Receive feedback with minimal defensiveness
Treat feedback as data about others’ experience — not as a verdict on your character.
The Johari Window - Run a structured team morphological session
The method is most powerful when multiple perspectives populate the dimensions and values.
Morphological Analysis, Made Practical - Run a negotiation debrief to learn what value was left on the table
After closing, compare priorities with the other side to see the trades you both missed.
Expanding the Pie: Negotiation Beyond Splitting the Difference - Adjourning: close the team with intention
How a team ends shapes how each member begins the next one.
