We have used the JoHari window for many years in teaching the DiSC Model of Behavior but I haven't considered it before as a tool to help teams deal with trust. As explained in this article on MindTools, the JoHari window can be an excellent process to help people understand the importance of Openness on a team.
I can see using it with a 360 feedback project as well to help people understand the value of 360 feeedback and how they can deal with the information. The Blind Spot in the model is often opened up a good bit when reading comments made by raters and the Hidden (of Mask as we call it) area in the model can be opened up a bit when the subject of 360 feedback realizes that intentions are not often seen in behavior and that they may need to be communicated more openly.
So, Openness in the basic Trust Model can be explained and enhanced using the JoHari Window. I need to explore this further.
