From the NY Times of 3 Jan 2005 Secret Meeting, Clear Mission: 'Rescue' U.N.
At the gathering, Secretary General Kofi Annan listened quietly to three and a half hours of bluntly worded counsel from a group united in its personal regard for him and support for the United Nations. The group's concern was that lapses in his leadership during the past two years had eclipsed the accomplishments of his first four-year term in office and were threatening to undermine the two years remaining in his final term. ...
The apartment gathering on Dec. 5 came at the end of a year that Mr. Annan has described as the organization's "annus horribilis."

Wow, a leader who listens quietly to three and a half hours of bluntly worded counsel. Where can I sign up for one of those?
