What characterizes senior citizens clubs is the fact that they are independently run: this raises the question of leadership within these groupings. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between two styles of leadership in club presidents and the mother tongue, the number of hours/week spent on the club's business, the size of the board and club membership. Over 160 presidents completed the “Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire”. A canonical analysis revealed that styles of leadership are related to maternal language, size of board and club membership, and hours/week spent on club's business.
