This paper, studies leisure-time center staff (L-tCS) leadership based on the concepts of leadership perspective and leadership style. The data is based on 355 responses to one open-ended question in an online survey. The findings demonstrate firstly, that there are often frame-factors having negative effects on the working climate as well as limiting the L-tCS’s capacity to vary their leadership, secondly, that the L-tCS use widely different leadership perspectives and leadership styles. The choice of a specific perspective or a possible shift between different perspectives helps the staff to define the current situation from a specific point of view.
