The conference and its purpose
In 2008, OFEK’s 21st annual International Group Relations Conference will focus on the interactions and interrelationships between Authority, Leadership and Boundaries, as they are reflected in the life of individuals, groups, organizations, and in the general socio-political reality, both local and global. The conference will provide opportunities to work with the concepts of Authority, Leadership and Boundaries, explore their multiplicity of meanings, learn their modes of operation, and experience their complexity. This is an experiential conference, modeled on the Tavistock Group Relations Conferences (GRCs), which were started by The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, London, in 1957, and have since been conducted all over the world.What is a Tavistock Group Relations
Conference?
The GRC was designed to study the behavior and development of groups, organizations and societies. Its relevance has never waned. The exploration it launches is as significant today as it was sixty years ago.
A Group Relations Conference is a temporary organization, an organization existing for the duration of the conference, in which the processes taking place mirror those occurring in familiar existing organizations, which we encounter and in which we work in our daily life.
In the GRC learning occurs through direct experience. The conference is designed to provide a variety of settings/opportunities for members to exercise and/or accept leadership and authority in here and now situations, to uncover, face and deal with the various forms of resistance encountered in doing so, and to manage oneself in relation to task and role. The hope is that the opportunities for exploration and experience offered in the conference would lead to insights that would, in turn, help forge and transform ways of being and relating in a range of interpersonal, institutional and societal spaces. Close attention is paid not only to overt and conscious behavior, thoughts and feelings, but also to the covert and unconscious processes – those that take place beyond one’s normal awareness – within oneself, in the groups one works with, and in the conference system as a whole.
The learning is personal. The individual member has the opportunity to discover where she or he is in such a complex and varied setting. In a range of events members can exercise their authority and leadership, deal with the opportunities, problems and resistances encountered within and without, while engaging with the work of the conference. Since the GRC does not have any set syllabus or established evaluative criteria for performance, each member is likely to experience his or her learning differently.
Who is the Conference for?
Potential participants range widely, from private practitioners, through supervisors, to managers of just a few subordinates, to people who run multinational organizations. All of us deal with similar issues, even if the area of our responsibility varies significantly.
The conference may prove beneficial to a broad spectrum of professionals in positions of authority, leadership or management, in the areas of administration (public and private), social services, behavioral sciences (organizational consultancy, clinical psychology, educational psychology, psychoanalysis, social work, education, sociology etc.), as well as medicine,

(psychiatry, family medicine, nursing) – professionals who are interested in groups, organizations and social systems.
The structure of the conference differentiates between first time participants who are members of Sub-Conference “A”, and those who have attended similar conferences in the past, who are members of Sub-Conference “B”. Participation in Sub-Conference “A” does not require any prior knowledge or training, only the willingness to learn from experience.
As this is an international conference, the working language will be English. In events were all participants are Hebrew speakers, the work may be conducted in Hebrew.
What does the Conference deal with?
The present conference sets out to explore, in addition to the traditional issues of Leadership and Authority, the complex and multifaceted issue of Boundaries.
Authority:is defined as "the right to take action and make a decision". The sources of authority are among the topics examined in the conference. Authority can derive from inside or from outside, from "above" or from "below", from formal or from informal sources. Assuming authority is a result of an "internal drama" involving internalized relations – conscious and unconscious – with significant authority figures (such as parents) from the distant past, as well as from the present, and beneficial or traumatic experiences that left their mark, even when ostensibly forgotten.
Leadership: has to do with the individual’s ability to identify the needs of the organization or the group, to contain the emotional aspects of the situation, to forge meaning and offer a direction, and to produce a well-timed impact. The qualities of the leader, as well as the internal and external conditions that enable or prevent the assumption and exercise of leadership, will be examined during the conference.
Boundaries: separate the inside from the outside, the self from the other, one’s own identity – personal, familial, cultural, religious, political, ethnic etc. – from the identity of others. Boundaries define and separate individuals, groups, tasks and roles, organizations and the larger environmental context in which they operate. They mark the extent of one’s authority, and delineate the domain of leadership.
Boundaries can be rigid or flexible, open or closed, permeable, semi-permeable or imsemi-permeable. Metaphorically, boundaries are not a "line" but a "space", a "border zone". A boundary can be experienced as "a danger zone" or conversely, as "a safety zone"; it can be perceived as a sign of exclusion, or as a reassuring demarcation of where one’s internal or external territory ends and the territory of the other begins. Boundaries can be viewed as limitations or restrictions, or they can be experienced as a protecting measure, a container that enables constructive and creative functioning. What is off limits can be a seductive, titillating attraction worth crossing boundaries for, or the mark that makes the infinite finite, the alien intimate, that provides a sense of safety and enables understanding and mastery. Either way, the boundary space of a system requires management. The concept of, and attitude to boundaries, borders and limits are dramatically changing in a world where virtual reality, globalization and neo-colonialism gain progressively more power, and change our understanding of human limits and limitations, a world where the unification of a continent and the abolition of differences are gradually and systematically taking place, while in other parts groups fight for their survival, fortify their boundaries, and subdivide into ever more tiny identity groups or tribes.

We will examine these topics as they manifest in our experiential conference, in the context of dynamic processes, both conscious and unconscious, visible or hidden.
The conference therefore provides opportunities for a hands-on experiential study of issues such as:
■ Taking up roles of authority and leadership
■ Understanding dynamic processes (overt and covert, conscious and
unconscious) within and between groups, organizations and in societies
■ Exploring the interconnectedness between the formal and informal
strata of the organization
■ Delineating boundaries, personal, interpersonal, group, national, cultural
etc., observing them, examining their effectiveness/ineffectiveness, permeability/impermeability, flexibility/rigidity, width or spaciousness/two-dimensionality/constriction
■ Observing (guarding, respecting) versus violating boundaries ■ Examining the interrelationship between (formal and informal) role taking,
and the development of personal, organizational and social boundaries
■ Studying the identity crises that might be created by the blurring of
boundaries or their buttressing
The ethical working assumption is that an expanded personal awareness leads to less projection onto others, and to more acceptance of personal responsibility; it contributes positively both to the individual himself and to the society he is part of.
Place and Context – why attend a group
relations conference in Israel?
Geographically the conference takes place in a quiet, serene, pastoral and safe area – the charming Ramot guesthouse overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Psychologically, socially and politically though, the conference takes place in the eye of the storm.
Since its inception, in 1948, Israel has struggled to define its boundaries, and have the world recognize its territorial limits and limitations. Today, Israel is a country fraught with contradictions. On the one hand, in sixty years of independence, Israel has managed to survive, to thrive, to develop modern technology and to build a "national home for the Jewish people", a melting pot for an ethnically diverse nation. On the other hand, both politically and socially, it is a conflicted nation, existing in a conflict-ridden, unstable, split and splintered geographical and socio-political context.
