Required Material

A good place to start are these two videos that explain the basic concepts of the Johari Window and Transactional Analysis along with some applications to leadership:

Patchin, S. (2015).Leadership and the Johari Window Part 1. The Tru Group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofs7oBqu0Dg:

Keep in mind that the concepts and applications of the Johari Window and Transactional Analysis are relatively difficult. So in addition to the videos make sure to go through the following readings. Most of these readings are relatively short, so make sure to go through all of them before starting on your assignments:

For those of you who are still a bit unclear on some of the concepts or want to brush up a bit more, some of the optional material below includes a couple of additional videos. There is also another book chapter which is a little longer than some of the other readings but explains the Johari Window in fairly simple and clear terms.

If you and a group of friends or coworkers want to try to find out what your Johari Windows looks like, there is a link to a popular Johari Window Interactive tool below.
