    Johari-Window-Model

  1. Open Self: This quadrant shows the behavior, motives, attitudes, knowledge skills of an individual that he is aware of and is willing to share it with others. The open self is characterized as a state wherein the individual is open and straight forward to himself and others about what he is doing, how is he doing and what are his intentions.
  2. Blind Self: The blind self shows the state of an individual known to others but not known to him. It usually happens, when an individual or a subject copies the behavior of some significant personalities unconsciously since his childhood.
  3. Hidden Self: This quadrant of the Johari window shows the state of an individual known to him but not known to the others. This is generally seen in the individuals who are introvert and do not like to share their private lives with anyone. The individual keeps his feelings, ideas or thoughts to himself and do not disclose it in front of the others.
  4. Unknown Self: The unknown self is the mysterious state of an individual neither known to him, nor others know about it. Ofen the feelings, thoughts or ideas go so deep down the individual that it becomes difficult for the individual as well for the other people to understand it.

Attitude is defined as a more or less stable set of predispositions of opinion, interest or purpose involving expectancy of a certain kind of experience and readiness with an appropriate response. Attitudes are also known as “frames of reference“. They provide the background against which facts and events are viewed.

Key Points

SWOT Analysis is a simple but useful framework for analyzing your organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It helps you to build on what you do well, to address what you're lacking, to minimize risks, and to take the greatest possible advantage of chances for success. It can be used to kick off strategy formulation informally, or in a more sophisticated way as a serious strategy tool. You can also use it to get an understanding of your competitors, which can give you the insights you need to craft a coherent and successful competitive position. When carrying out your analysis, be realistic and rigorous. Apply it at the right level, and supplement it with other option-generation tools where appropriate.
