Abstract
This chapter argues that hypothesised and observed that there has been an increasing trend across multiple disciplines in the United States over the post-modern era away from privileging objectivity, impartiality, and vertical hierarchy towards increasing and recognising as valid subjectivity, intersubjectivity, intersectionality, “special relationshipping,” and matrix-based and/or collaborative leadership. It discusses the hypothesised and observed that the Traditionalist Model of practicing and studying group relations (GR) and dynamics in the here-and-now does not offer a comprehensive way of observing, speaking to, and working with special relationships and their impact on authority and GR in here-and-now conferences. A rounded 72% of respondents reported that the impact of dual and multiple relationships on GRCs and organisational life is unexamined in the GR literature regarding basic assumption group phenomena. Ninety-seven percent of respondents indicated D/M relationships to be a significant dimension in the world of work and academic institutions.
