• To emphasize the role of feedback and self-reflection in discovering and expanding the 'open area' of the Johari window.
• To guide students and peers toward achieving an 'ideal Johari window' for enhanced success and innovation.

Main Methods:

• Conceptual analysis of the Johari window psychological matrix.
• Exploration of the dynamics of self-awareness and interpersonal perception.
• Integration of the concept of bidirectional feedback ('dohari') within the Johari window model.

Main Results:

• The Johari window is dynamic and unique to each individual and relationship.
• Discovering and opening the 'blind spot' through feedback is crucial for personal growth and innovation.
• A feedback culture and self-reflection are key to unlocking inner potential.

Conclusions:

• Bidirectional feedback ('dohari') is essential for maximizing the 'open area' in the Johari window.
• Encouraging feedback and self-reflection helps individuals identify and address their blind spots.
• Achieving an optimal Johari window fosters personal development, success, and innovation.
