Susan Cleveland is the young president of a candy company in the city of Chicago. Her father began the company in the 1960's. He died three years ago. Now, the company belongs to Susan.

Susan,¡¡ 1¡¡ , did not have any jobs before becoming head of the company. She just finished the college.

The employees(¹ÍÔ±) became¡¡ 2¡¡ concerned during Susan's first months¡¡ 3¡¡ the job. Mr Cleveland had been a¡¡ 4¡¡ leader. But Susan permitted¡¡ 5¡¡ employees to make their own¡¡ 6¡¡ . One employee said, ¡°Old Mr Cleveland¡¡ 7¡¡ told us what to do. He kept people on a short leash.¡¡ _8¡¡ the company did well.¡± What does a ¡°short leash¡± mean? A leash is a kind of rope. We use a leash¡¡ 9¡¡ our pet dogs. The leash keeps the dog from¡¡ 10¡¡ away¡¡ 11¡¡ getting into trouble.

Keeping a person on a short leash means keeping him or her¡¡ 12¡¡¡¡ close control. The person can't make many decisions for himself or herself. Mr Cleveland does not keep her workers on a short leash.¡¡ 13¡¡ , she encourages them to get¡¡ 14¡¡ ways to do business. For example, her secretary proposed(½¨Òé) an idea. She said the company should¡¡ 15¡¡ a sum of money as a prize to the best student in the high school¡¡ 16¡¡ the factory. The winner could used the prize money to study at a university. Mr Cleveland¡¡ 17¡¡ the idea. After the prize was announced,¡¡ 18¡¡ who lived in the area of the factory began to buy¡¡ 19¡¡ of the company's candy. Local newspapers wrote about the competition.
