Nested relationships in learning organizations LO27678

Replying to LO27670 --

I am not familiar with "nested relationships" as you are using the term.
However, all the relationships you list, other than teacher-parent, are
hierarchical in nature. For these relationships, positional leadership
with its cultural expectations of authority and power might be a road of
inquiry. Even the teacher-parent relationship has cultural expectations
for the two roles with a sharing of leadership across time and space.

If this is on the right track I can provide additional leads. If not,
please provide some additional information on what you are studying.
