Analysis

Introduction: 

While proper conducting of analysis, some tools will help in the  effective communication with the employee as well as with the managers. These tools include with Johari window model analysis and Myers Briggs help to know the proper communication. 

Johari Window: Johari window is the ability or skills that is used for better knowing of relationship among the people. Two psychologists named Ingham and Luft in the year of 1955 brought this model. In this model, it is divided into four phases that is self with arena, blind spot, and facade and unknown (Saxena, 2015). This works within a team or an individual, it lies with two factors firstly to know properly about yourself and secondly most important the citizen must know you. In the open area, it includes that anything known by you must be shared with the citizen or the locality for opening up of communication gap. Individual person can build the proper trust with others as well as with them by sharing information and learning. 

In the blind area, it includes that you don't know about yourself but the other citizen or peoples knows about the information (Othman et al. 2015). By getting the proper feedback, I can get the positive and negative information that will help me for the proper execution of the work.

In the hidden area, I can know the awareness instead of other people or citizen. It is also known as unknown area due to fact that area is unknown to me as well as other people. 

Balance between the four quadrants could be change depending upon the hidden area. As in the hidden area, I myself can tell the hidden aspect of others if it is known by me. While, I am not at all comfortable of giving information to the groups then I can give ideas to an individual that meanwhile can increase open area and reduce the hidden area of myself. 

By getting the data or information from the other people can also increase the space for open area communication. When that information is very true then it will reduce the blind area space. 

Myers Briggs:

Myers -Briggs is a tool that evaluates a person’s psychology predilections in making decisions after perceiving with people. It is generally a tool to test the interaction skills of a person with others and help them to communicate, work and learn in a more organized fashion. The Myers Briggs was designed by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. Their work was based on theory proposed by Carl Jung. He proposed that humans get to know the world by sensation, intuition, feeling and thinking and among all of these one dominates a person’s mind around the clock. The Myers-Briggs assessment is easily applicable and helps to provoke a positive drive to achieve excellence in work areas (Furnham, & Crump, 2015).This assessment helped me to work in a more fruitful form in a team, it helped me to know my personal strengths, areas of weakness. It helped to improve my performances with better action plans. It provided a more meaningful understanding of other people’s personality working in a team and hence helped to have an enhanced version of leadership qualities. It also helps to identify sources that could disrupt work and caused to function my work without any intervention. By improving the interaction skills feedbacks from others helped me to improve my individual performance and increase the productivity of the organization. it also assisted to skip stress driven situations and execute plans for managing stress (Bales, 2016). It aided in improving relationships that is a major factor in leading a team to perform a task. It deepens the understanding of communication that is of great importance in such organizations.
