The existence of a Kiai as a pesantren leader is unique to study, and this is because the duties and functions of a kiai are not only leading, 5 motivating but also compiling the curriculum in the pesantren, determining the policies of the pesantren to managing the lives of 1 Umi Musaropah, "Kharisma Kyai Dalam Organisasi Pendidikan Pesantren Tradisional," Ulumuddin : Jurnal Ilmu-Ilmu Keislaman 8, no. 2 (December 2018): 141-55, https://doi.org/10.47200/ulumuddin.v8i2.193.

Strategic efforts conducted by K.H Huda Rouhin that when examined in line with the concept offered by theory human reources management, it is revealed that teacher quality development efforts must be made through changing patterns of thought teachers namely negative and pessimistic mindset in looking at the future of education as teachers habit searching-look for reasons that are beyond his competence to justify a failure.17They prefer to blame students who are in poor condition, inadequate building conditions, incomplete infrastructure, and other reasons.In addition, teachers still find it difficult to accept new things, like to procrastinate, make many excuses, and quickly feel satisfied with what they have achieved, so that it is difficult for them to change for the better. 18

Open Communication with Teachers With the communication of the teachers and the organizational structure, it is beneficial to carry out their respective tasks to be completed properly.Good communication will positively impact caregivers, asatidz, and students; in carrying out their duties, they tend to communicate verbally compared to written communication because verbal communication will facilitate problem-solving.Unclear information can be immediately resolved by asking verbally.directly to the caregivers because boarding school caregivers are fully responsible for producing the best for asatidz students and administrators This is in line with the communication theory described by Jessica that smooth communication affects performance efficiency.An effective way to make the communication process between superiors and subordinates run smoothly is by using a dialogical system.Dialogic communication is a two-way communication that is reciprocal "the sender of the message is also the recipient of the message."Dialogic communication serves to avoid the leader's tendency to interpret every message or instruction he gives himself. 25he existence of freedom to submit proposals, plans, and personal activities or groups to achieve tasks and behave thoroughly is the cause of change for schools, staff, teachers, and students.A positive response from subordinates to KH Rouhin Huda with the condition of the leadership style applied by KH Rouhin Huda In addition, this also has an impact on his subordinates always to strive to improve the quality of Islamic boarding school education so that all ustadz and administrators will work happily because every difficulty faced is immediately given solution.

The task of teachers in educational institutions is cumbersome.This is because, in addition to the teacher having to master the material following the training subjects being taught, the teacher is also required to understand the character and psychology of the child so that the lessons conveyed by the teacher can be accepted, understood, and understood mastered by the students. 27To implement this, learning tools and administrative services are also needed so that the teaching and learning process activities can run smoothly and following the desired goals.
Considering that this is not easy and what is being faced is permanent.KH Rouhin Huda as a leader, must read the situation of how teachers and employees do not feel bored with their work so that their professionalism remains high.Their dedication is exemplary, so several refresher activities are held, such as recreation, rewards/ congratulations, giving gifts at the celebration of the anniversary of Amanatullah Vocational School.With this condition, it is hoped that inner satisfaction as a subordinate can be fulfilled and satisfied.Thus, KH Rouhin Huda provides real implications for improving the quality of Islamic boarding school education, the characteristics of attitudes and behavior that can be seen from him who is disciplined and responsive to educational problems that make students, teachers, and the public amazed by his leadership, the elements of education feel The direct leadership that he applied, Kiai brought positive changes from various fields towards the better.The implications of buying are in terms of behavior and provide an example of being a religious leader who can be accounted for in terms of both leadership quality and knowledge.And spelled out the implications of leadership KH Rouhin Huda in improving the quality of pesantren Amanatulloh very positive because it has scored alumni who have independence in work in the field of technology, and there are also directly recruited by the industry that is renowned in Indonesia
