Billy isn't sure he'll be able to rise to the challenge of pitching to a very important client at work, but his supervisor selected Billy to give the pitch because he knows Billy will seal the deal. This information falls into the quadrant of his Johari window labeled __________.

a. open
b. secret
c. unknown
d. blind

The Johari window label is used to provide an explanation of the relationship between employers and employees. It gives an explanation of some psychological issues that inform the behavior of these two groups. The quadrant of the Johari window labeled blind reveals what the employer knows about the employee, but the employee does not know that about himself due mostly to a lack of self-awareness. This is the case between Billy and his employer who knows about his ability to pitch a deal, but which Billy is not so confident about.

The employer could help Billy overcome the problem of lack of self-awareness by encouraging him to reveal information about himself.
