Know Yourself, Know Your Team

Great leadership starts with self-awareness. This week, we’re diving into the Johari Window, a framework that helps leaders uncover what’s “open,” “hidden,” or “unknown” about themselves in relation to their team. Moving more into the “open” quadrant—where leaders and team members share understanding—fosters trust, strengthens relationships, and aligns your team for success.

Learn practical ways to reduce blind spots, reveal hidden strengths, and build a culture of transparency and mutual respect. Ready to take a step toward deeper trust? Watch the video to start building stronger connections with your team!
