Discover yourself: open up your �Johari window� with �Dohari� Feedback
Shrestha R

Abstract:
The Johari window is a psychological matrix that is unique for each person. It is segmented into four panes: �things I know about me �, �things I don�t know about me�; �things others know about me� and �things others don�t know about me�. The panes are not the same in all relationships and are dynamic. Everyone has a �blind spot�, that prevents us from advancing to the next level of development. We should help our students and peers to achieve the �ideal Johari window� with the widest �open area� and help them discover their �blind spot� which will lead them to success and innovations. With feedback culture and self-reflection this area may be discovered and become open which will disclose their inner potential. In this paper, the importance of bidirectional feedback �dohari� is illustrated through the concept of the Johari window. The tips for giving and receiving feedback are summarized.
