The Cranky Middle Manager show #173 Johari’s Window with Rick Lochner
Today Wayne Turmel talks to Rick Lochner about the Johari Window and how it can help you prepare for organizational change… or just amaze people that you know cool words like Johari Window. Also we pay tribute to Father Time and a composer gives us no sympathy. You don’t get stuff like this on any other management show, gang.

0:00 Welcome to the show and kiss 2008 and some of my hair goodbye. Today we talk about the Johari Window and leading change. Some changes are more welcome than others to be sure. We dedicate the show to Father Time.

4:45 The quote of the week is from Hector Berlioz and remember gang, what doesn’t kill you will still leave you with a nasty limp and a good story.
5:48 Today we are talking change and the Johari Window. What the heck is a Johari window and why do we care?

12:00 Rick walks us through a practical application we can all relate to. There’s a reorg coming…buckle up.
16:45 Once you know a change is coming you use Kurt Lewin’s model.. unfreeze, change, freeze. Amazing how many people forget the freeze part.
