Is transparency a good thing? In my quest to increase my authenticity, viagra usa prescription I thought I would do a blog post with a little self disclosure.

Johari Window

This is a diagram of the Johari Awareness window. Johari sounds like some guru on top of a mountain somewhere that would reveal the secrets of life. Actually it was created by a guy named Joe and a guy named Harry. The model was created by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in 1955. The size of the 4 windows may vary depending upon an individuals style. If a person has a high awareness of self and self discloses a lot, doctor the upper left box is biggest and that individual is known as healthy. A person who knows very little about themselves and others know a great deal, the upper right box is large and they have a large blind spot. If an individual has a large amount of self awareness but reveals very little, the upper left box is large and they have a large hidden area. If the individual is low in self awareness and others know very little, the lower right is larger and the unknown arena is large. A large blindspot can create a bull in the china shop where things are constantly breaking but the individual is out of touch. A turtle personality type might have a large unknown arena.

I remember years ago, I knew a leader who believed that it was not important that others knew anything about him. This “leader” was a turtle personality type.
