The Open Area

6. The Blind area
This part can also be referred to as ignorance about oneself, or issues in which one is deluded.
Examples: simple information - food in teeth, bad breath; involves deep issues – lack of eye contact, inappropriate clothes.
This feedback helps you learn things about yourself. It’s important for personal growth.

7. The Blind Area

8. The Hidden area
This hidden part represents information and feelings not revealed or kept secret from others, for whatever reason.
It’s natural to conceal some information and hold private thoughts and feelings to yourself. However:
If you want people to be able to help you in a certain situation  they will need to know where you currently stand and what your thoughts, feelings or knowledge is on the subject.
The more you can be open and honest and reveal certain things about yourself  the more you will build trust and improve your relationships.

9. The Hidden Area

10. The Unknown area
This represents our unconscious. It usually reveals itself in unwanted ways.
Such as: always running late; blurting out a hurtful comment; It can also be Things that are going to happen to me in the future and I don’t know how I will handle them.

11. Every single one of us acts and behaves within all 4 areas.
We are all open and honest and aware of our skills and abilities
We all hold back some information from others
There are always things that other people are aware of about us that we do not know.

15. SAIs can also benefit from the Johari model
Using the JOHARI model in SAIs
The self- disclosure of the audited bodies (which makes their “hidden area” smaller)
is crucial for fulfilling SAIs mission.
SAI s wide point of view can contribute significantly to reduce the “blind part” of the audited bodies and improve their self-awareness.
If we ‘d like to increase the chance that the audited bodies will share hidden information with us, we should look at our relationship with them as a long term relationship, by operating in a responsible way, approaching them with respect and by giving them only constructive feedback.
By enlarging the “open area” of the audited bodies, SAIs help the audited bodies improve and develop.
Better Effectiveness and Results

16. Using this model to improve professional relationships between co-workers in SAIs and also between auditors and employees in audited bodies
The more we are self-aware (by enlarging the open area), the better the professional relationships between us will be, and the more productive, cooperative, and effective we’ll be when working together
