Lead Better - Revisiting the Johari Window
In this episode of Lead Better, hosts Scott Baker and Mikey explore the concept of blind spots in leadership through the lens of the Johari Window, a four‑quadrant model that maps what is known and unknown to oneself and others. They explain how the framework can boost self‑awareness by expanding the "open" quadrant and shrinking the "blind" and "hidden" areas, using practical exercises like a 360‑feedback adjective swap. Real‑world examples illustrate how leaders can uncover hidden strengths, such as mentorship potential, and address misconceptions like micromanagement. The conversation emphasizes the value of low‑stakes, structured dialogue to surface insights before high‑stakes decisions.
