Do you live in a glass house? Turn on the lights.

Yes, all leaders, managers of any organisation, military, civilians, political, business, government, professors and teachers, live in their respective glass houses.

How did Mr Ramesh Swamy, Trustee of UNNATI (www.unnatiblr.org) and Mr Prithviraj Karai, Founder of NGO Thread India (www.threadindia.com) increased their Open Areas on the well known Johari Window?


Mr Ramesh Swamy is heading the NGO UNNATIBLR and has established 50 institutions all over India to empower youth. UNNATI has two types of staff and teachers, volunteers and permanent employed. On 02 May 2017, during the Strengths-Based Workshop, he attended for the entire duration along with his 11 Staff and Volunteers. He let the team know his strengths and values. This increased the open space on the Johari Window. He revealed certain other unknown aspects of his personality- which became like an open book. He also learnt about values and strengths of his team members.


Mr Prithviraj Karai is a young College Graduate who started an NGO with 5 like-minded young Graduates. They went through the Strengths-Based Workshop on 02 May 2017 and them all emulated Mr Ramesh Swamy.


One written report given to them about the Team Strengths, they shared these with their team members.
They turned on the lights of their glass houses and this will be able to build trust, compassion, stability and hope.

  1. Life is a basket full of treasures; the most valuable treasure in the basket are the mistakes we make daily on our life’s journey and our ability to identify these mistakes and make them right.

  2. Very well said Mac. But I am looking for the basket full of successes and least number of failures/mistakes. How about trying for the basket full of honey and milk and not mistakes? Try Sttrengths-Based Development programmes.
