SECTION 1 - JOHARI WINDOW:
1. Open Area:
This part or the window is the one that contains the information that are known to me and to
others as well. In other words this talks about that information about me that are actually
known to others or to the common public as well (Autili et al., 2017). This is usually the
larger area and all the different communication system takes place in this part are considered
to be part of how the individual carries them in the public domain.
I have realized that in order to conduct this research or to get the relevant information about
this aspect I will have to communicate with others and make sure that I am being able to take
the feedbacks of friends and colleagues who are known to me. In other words I have used the
methods like feedback collection by circulating the feedback sheets and also by taking the
views of what others feel like about me (Bender, O'Connor & Evans, 2018). I have taken the
self analysis tests myself and also made my colleagues take up the same test and make sure
that I am also being able to find out the similarities and the differences that are present
between the opinion of me and my colleagues as well. ‘Feedback solicitation’ is a method
that has been used in order to gather information and also increase the self awareness aspects.
I have realized that there are some common grounds in the opinion of me and also the
colleagues. The skills that are present in me are energetic nature, reliable trust worthiness,
hardworking and honest nature. At the same time, I have also got some of the negative views
or the negative feedbacks from my colleagues as well. Some of my colleagues were of the
opinion that I am of a very short tempered nature and I need to work over this. This is
because if I lose patience very easily then I will not be able to understand the queries that are

present among my team members and will not be able to solve their issues. I have used some
methods to work over improving my-self awareness. In order to do this, I have used the
following methods
Keeping a journal
This method will be very helpful as this will help me to understand about the amount of
progress that I am being able to make (Glass et al., 2016). This has helped me to keep a
routine and organized structure of the ways in which I will be able to work over myself and
also take the views of others. This has helped me to focus over time management and then
how I can become an able leader in the near future (Kunyk et al., 2016).
Hidden area
This part talks about that information about my characters that are known to me but are kept
hidden from others. I would like to keep my weaknesses in this aspect. This is because I feel
that if others get to know about my weakness then I might become much vulnerable and will
suffer from the competition. My lack of confidence and fear of competition are some of
those aspects that I would like to keep in this field. However I feel that of people get to know
about these aspects then I will not be able to survive in the competition as I will not be able
to carry on the competition in my workplace.
However at the same time, I feel that I will be able to get some good and valuable tips from
my colleagues if I share this information. For an instance sharing my weakness that is my
lack of confidence I have been able to get good suggestions from my colleagues on how to
work with it. My seniors have asked me to take small gaps in between my work for
refreshing my mind and then take some coaching sessions that will help me to work over my

level of confidence. Thus I have realized that moving this skill in my open area is useful for
me.
Blind Area Part One
There are some blind spots or features about me that are known by others and not by me. It
must be noted that this is a very sensible area and thus I have chosen only very few selected
people who are close to me and who will always be honest to me. The blind spots were my
anger issue and also errors in the decision making power. The individuals that helped me
were my colleagues and some my childhood friends as well. They helped me to understand
about these by knowing showing some of the past incidents where I have been displayed a
very rude nature and also rough temper. I thought that I am of a very polite nature and I know
how to maintain my level of tolerance.
I realized that I have to respond over this realization. I made sure that I have to work over
these and make sure that I am implementing them in my daily life both in the personal and
the professional fields (Adams & Turner, 2016). It was said by my colleagues and friends
that I must enroll myself in some anger management class and also follow the method of
group discussion. As I am of a very shy and introvert nature I usually avoid talking or
communicating with others whenever I face any problems. However I thought that following
this solution will be very helpful.
I develop the practice of discussing the problems with my colleagues and my friends so that I
get some of the helpful tips from my colleagues and also from my friends. This has helped
me to understand the problems properly and know that there are many people who will be

5HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
helping me with their solutions. I realized that group discussions and anger management
classes have helped me to work over my anger level and also make myself much more calm
and organized.
The value of your newfound awareness is that it has been able to help me to make myself
much more organized and I have been able to make fewer mistakes in my work. I have also
realized that I have made good improvements in my decision making power. This has helped
me to take better decisions and also make sure that none of my employees are suffering from
any kinds of hasty or faulty decisions taken by me (Saxena, 2015).
Blind Area Part Two
There are some kinds of blind spots that are present in me even in the current context. I have
selected my colleagues who would be helping me to identify and work over the same. They
are managing work under pressure. However I felt that I am not able to complete any of
the assigned projects in a correct manner or and make several mistakes. In order to check this
I started focusing over the perfection of my works (Oliver & Duncan, 2019). Though I was
able to work over the aspects but I realized that I am not being able to score good marks or
gain a good appraisal, I was not sure why am I not being able to reach up to that extent
(Saxena, 2015). I realized later that I am not being able to meet the deadlines of my assigned
works which is also needed in a proper way.

SECTION 2 – SELF-CONCEPT
Personal self-concept inventory
 I am usually happy and cheerful when I am working in my comfort zone. However I
have realized that I often lose my cam and become depressed and angry whenever
there is work pressure. I am unhappy with my emotional state as I want to maintain a
kind of flexibility and uniformity in the same. This must be ensured that I am
maintaining a composed mindset and nature even under the huge work pressure. I
would like to work on my moods by enrolling myself in one of the anger management
classes and also confidence building classes.
 I am happy with my physical appearance. I am of a fit and healthy appearance.
 I am shy and find it tough to communicate with people with the first go (Khatoon,
2018). I want to work over this aspect and develop a more friendly nature and get
over my shyness so that I am able to communicate with all my team members and
help them to get all the support that they need.
 I have the skill of being good at math. This helps me to solve all the assignments
related to the logic and mathematical calculations. However I lack the skill of
effective communication and a sound decision making power.
 I strongly hold on to the family beliefs that it is essential to stay honest at all steps in
the work field. Therefore I always try to make sure that I am not working for getting
any personal gains rather I try to work for the employee welfare. For the work

7HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
cultural seeing I have learned that there are many different employees coming from
different socio cultural backgrounds. They often have to face bullying. Thus I will
have to make sure that I am holding onto this belief. I believed that employees who
lack a good English speaking skill will not be able to perform properly. However I
will have to work over this aspect and make sure that I am letting go of this belief and
treat all the employees in an equal manner.
 I feel that all the roles that of being a mom, a sister, a brother and also an employee is
important as all are different forms of the same individual. I would like to stay in all
these different roles and try to find out the different areas of my strengths and also
weakness and work over the same.

Analysis
I will surely like to bring about a kind of transformation within myself as I have got all the
necessary information about myself. I would like to change my weaknesses like anger issue and
lack of patience. A lack of patience will make me do many mistakes in the work and will not be
able to concentrate properly. I will be taking steps like enrolling myself in the anger management
classes and also take short breaks in between work so that I can refresh my mind for some time.
This will help me in doing my work in a more efficient manner and also work over the anger
issue so that I do not make any harsh comments or rude behavior with my colleagues.
SECTION 3 – Social Identity:
There are different social groups that exist in our society. One among them is the less privileged
or the backward class with whom I will have to interact in the long run. The Aboriginals or the
Torres Strait islander are the ones with whom I will have to work in the long run, I will make
sure that I am not being able to
SECTION 4 – Profile of Self:
I feel that I am a hard working person who can be an efficient employee in the long run. I have
got this information from the self analysis that I am a perfectionist who is able to work with all
the necessary details and also make sure that the work is carried in a very efficient manner.
However I have suffered from many anger issues as well. I often lose my temper while I am
under pressure. I am not very approachable to all my employees as they feel that I am of a shy
and introvert nature. Therefore they often feel neglected and restrain themselves from
approaching to me. Therefore I have taken the following steps-

9HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
I have enrolled myself in the anger management class so that I am able to work over my anger
level and deal with all the challenges in a peaceful manner and also reduce the number of
mistakes that I would have committed in past and make sure they are not repeated in the future.
I have also made it a routine to take short gaps in between the work so that I can keep my mind
fresh and make sure that I am able to deal with the pressure in very organized manner.
SECTION – Organizational Effectiveness:
Increasing the self awareness is of utmost importance as it helps in understanding about the
different strengths and the weaknesses that are actually present in me. I have realized that I am
being able to do the work with perfection but at times I am not being able to work under pressure
and I am often missing the deadline. This can turn out to be one of the major faults that will
make me suffer n my professional field.
If I am not being able to meet the deadlines then I will not be able to groom my employees in a
proper way. As a result of this, I will be barred from getting promotions and my team mates will
not be able to work in an efficient manner. The organizational effectiveness will be hampered.
Apart from this, I will also have to work over my decisions making power so that I can take the
right decision without wasting much time. As a leader I will have to take several decisions and
make sure that it is for the overall welfare of the employees and the organization. I will have to
make sure that I am working over increasing my level of confidence and make sure that it is
being implemented in their day to day activity.
