Teacher's mindset, aka CLO?

I am sure we all have our glad and sad memories of experiences with teachers. But in this post, I would like to talk about a certain"teacher's mindset" that may be prevalent in a few people outside teacher community as well and there may be many exceptions within teaching community as well.
Teacher's mindset that I am alluding to here is - a firm belief thattheir subjects (or students or victims) do or say or act or basicallylive their life courtesy their instructions. Imagine this in a limitless fashion amounting to pervasive intrusion + control that kind of chokes till the victim just suffocates. You can instantly recognize these people, if they have a high need to verbalize instructions even after they notice the victim does a certain thing autonomously so that they get satisfaction that the work is done because of their instruction(s) only.
I encounter this daily with my mother and felt like a victim many a times. But after being cooked through this furnace for quite sometime, I have started cherishing these experiences once I understood the psychology behind it. But believe me at times it can get to your bones, she is the inspiration for this blog!
When the onslaught happens, take a couple of deep breaths - that helps. Many parents - especially mothers - make this mistake too: unnecessarily dole out same instructions daily even when they know their kids are aware of it and will handle things themselves. Sometimes this external stimuli /moral policing does help on forgetful or preoccupied days. But not on a daily basis.
I've seen this behaviour / mindset at play in workplace too. When "convenient", certain team leader will paraphrase what his / her team member said in a meeting to make it look correct or to register as a fact that the input came out of the conditioning, grooming, instruction from Him / Her. "Everything that is said, done out here is because of me!"kind of mindset. Another dimension to this is - there is nothing newthat will come out of the team unless it is from me. Thinking positively, these kind of folks can aim to become of Chief Learning Officers of an organization. Well, that kind of steep ownership is good. Some may clothe this monstrosity in the name of passion as well. But it would really be credible when such steep ownership is reflected to own failures (will you claim responsibility if your student has become a thief, corrupt or immoral?). If you do, well and good. I salute you.
When dealing with such persons, knowing what's at play - the genetic need behind it - is half the battle to tackle them. But only humble consideration I would like those Chief LearningOfficers to have is: while displaying such wild passion, please shower some compassion on your victims (aka students) as well! They can and in fact they do exist and can live on their own mind and mind their ownbusiness as well. No one took the credit away from you anyway, so thereis no need to act out of insecurity day in, day out.
