First of all, there is no need for the basis of a "human face", because this gives the local official a certain socio-political capital, ties him to the locality and the people, strengthens his authority, and all this contradicts Moscow's strategy of establishing absolute control over the regions through 1) the distribution of power between the governor and the holder of the power of the direct president, now, by his direct superior, now. "Blessing" in the form of a recommendation and appointment for "elections" + 3) Shuffling and anti-corruption measures, it turns out, like in China - the unification of the central government through a lack of political subjectivity between the regional authorities. Well, yes, such people do not react without an order from above, because an initiative is punishable and is already a proposal for autonomy, but at the same time "stable control" (Kirinko's plans for the rotation of managerial personnel are part of this). In short, Gladkov was dismissed for becoming too active outside of his authority.
