Introduction: Retrogression
Before delving into other parts of this paper, it is critical to retrogress on the previously discussed policy issue. In this respect, the critical issue is negative attitude towards teachers and the general teaching profession. It is pivotal to remember that this issue not only affects teachers but also the education, with major ripple effects deterring provision of quality learning and learner outcomes. Remedial policies are, therefore, necessary since, on the overall, they will help to improve the quality of education through improving the teacher-learner relationship. Proper policy development, however, depends on good leadership which is a direct function of open communication. In particular, upward communication is crucial for every stage of the policy and clarity among all the stakeholders involved in the particular policy development. Definitively, upward communication connotes communication transactions among various groups or individuals aimed at designing or redesigning education to implement the policy directions. To this end, unlike the previous discussion, the following discussion shifts focus to leader behavior in line with Joiner and Josephs (2007) leadership agility. Similarly, the discussion agrees that the first few minutes (‘thin slices’) of communication are pertinent to the course of conversation as Communication researchers define what you are aligning with as communication apprehension. This is "an individual's level of fear or anxiety with either real or anticipated communication with another person or persons. well as the eventual benefits of the communication.
