Do we have any indication that Burke or others are keeping him under closer control?
That's not what I infer when someone says "shorter leash". I infer that there is less patience for that person, and they are more likely to be let-go if things don't work out. I supposed one could argue that the person on a shorter leash would more likely than not be micromanaged and second-guessed, but I always assume it is the likelihood of getting fired if things don't go well.
