On 4 December, 2006, a joint seminar, bringing together both EUPAN (European Public Administration Network) and TUNED (trade union delegation, made up of EPSU and CESI) took place in Helsinki, which was devoted to the topic "Leadership and the Lisbon Strategy". In the run-up to the seminar, several working meetings were held, chaired by the Finnish council presidency, at which case studies were used to illustrate various aspects of leadership.
In the joint declaration, both sides stressed how significant a role good leadership plays in the quality of administration. Particular emphasis was given to the notion of leaders as well as the social skills of those in charge. The involvement of trade unions and conducting an open dialogue with regard to the ongoing reforms in the public service was also acknowledged.
