Public or Open Self • A person’s knowledge of his or her behaviors and other aspects of professional practice that correspond to the colleague’s or supervisor’s knowledge • The area in which communication occurs most effectively and where the person is least likely to be defensive • Goal = broaden or enlarge this “cell” with the person

4. Hidden or Secret Self • The person knows aspects about his or her behavior and professional practice that the colleague or supervisor does not know. • The person tends to conceal these for fear that the supervisor may use them to punish, hurt, or exploit. • This “cell” demonstrates the importance of a climate of trust and credibility.

5. Blind Self • The supervisor knows about aspects of a person’s behaviors and professional practice of which the person is unaware. • This “cell” size is reduced as the leadership role or supervision develops and matures.

6. Undiscovered Self • Neither the person nor the colleague or supervisor know all the potential for the person’s behavior and professional practice. • The size of this “cell” reduces as the leadership or supervisory role develops.
