Submission Instructions:

Steps:

1. Read Chapter 3: Begin by thoroughly reading Chapter 3 of Fujishin’s book, focusing on the concepts of verbal communication and the Johari Window model.
2. Understand the Johari Window: Familiarize yourself with the four quadrants of the Johari Window:
   • Open Area: Known to self and others.
   • Blind Area: Known to others but not to self.
   • Hidden Area: Known to self but not to others.
   • Unknown Area: Unknown to both self and others.
3. Select Individuals: Choose one person from each category:

• Supervisor
• Co-worker
• Adult family member
• Young family member.

1. Gather Information: Reflect on your interactions with each individual. Consider their communication style, behaviors, and any feedback you have received or observed.
2. Construct the four Johari Windows:
   • Open Area: List traits and behaviors known to both you and the individual.
   • Blind Area: Identify traits and behaviors that others might see in the individual, but they might not recognize in themselves.
   • Hidden Area: Note traits and behaviors that the individual knows about themselves but keeps hidden from others.
   • Unknown Area: Speculate on traits and behaviors that neither you nor the individual might be aware of.
