Uncomfortable in English, he relies on notes when speaking and struggles to convey intellectual heft or moral drama. He’s never managed to capture the public imagination; one former high-level U.N. official who spoke to me off the record said Ban “somehow just never comes through,” adding: “You can write him a script and he’ll read it, but even when he meets privately with senior heads of government, they come away disappointed by his lack of, engagement.

One recently retired UN official said that one of Ban's biggest handicaps was his lack of fluency in English, which made it difficult for him to win over audiences in the US and elsewhere. "We have got him diction lessons and media training," the former official said. The diction lessons, sometimes as often as two  to three times a week, have helped, but not enough. "We advised him to make fewer television appearances. He is a hard sell."
