The power of N Korean leadership at home has always been in their defiance of the west, the idea they are still at war with the US and so on, that N Korea does not need the rest of the world (i forget the name of that doctrine they live by). He can't change that anytime soon without dramatically upsetting the balance of power at home. Power is nothing more than influence. To keep hold of power, you must maintain that influence. To maintain that influence, you must appease those you are trying to lead... including others of influence and power such as military, intelligence etc.
I think there is a much greater likelihood that he will have an "unfortunate accident" and be replaced in the next year or so than actually having a chance to run the country for any real period of time. This is the window of opportunity for the power hungry to displace a weak leader.
