What do people notice about you that you don't see yourself? Johari Window is a self-awareness tool that maps your personality from two angles: how you see yourself vs. how others see you. Compare the results to uncover blind spots, hidden strengths, and the traits that define how you show up. Quick to use. Surprisingly revealing.

👋 Hey everyone! Maker here.
Most leaders don't fail from bad strategy.
They fail from blind spots - the things everyone sees except them.
I built Johari Window after realising I had a few of my own.
It's a simple framework (widely used in corporate HR) that reveals:
Open: Known to you and others
Blind Spot: Known to others, not to you
Hidden: Known to you, not to others
Unknown: Hidden from everyone
The goal?
Shrink the gap between how you see yourself and how others experience you.
When that gap closes:
Clearer communication, sharper decisions, less conflict, stronger trust.
Would love your feedback - and curious: have you ever discovered a blind spot about yourself that changed how you lead or work?
@_prasanjit I’m curious how this works in a team setting.
Does the tool provide any guidance on how teams can interpret or discuss the results together?
Johari Window
@soom1 Great question! The tool focuses on individual self-awareness, but it works well in team settings too, just switch to "Professional" traits for a workplace lens.
For team discussions, a simple approach: have each person share one trait that surprised them (from their blind spot). Sparks great conversations.
@_prasanjit Love this explanation — especially the idea of switching to the ‘Professional’ traits.
The team-sharing tip also sounds super practical. Thanks for breaking it down so clearly!

Such a coincidence, today I talked to my friend about the Johari concept. Gonna send this to him out :)

@_prasanjit I would also include bad character traits! 😂
Johari Window
@busmark_w_nika Haha there are a few in there already but always open to adding more.

@_prasanjit yeah, I think there are more bad traits we can see in people :D
Congrats! Love the playful vibe and the way that gamification is incorporated. Very helpful model for building trust through openness 🙌
