Working as a transformational managers leads and paves the way to become a leader while working as a transactional manager leads to being a good manager but will not exult in any apparent leadership qualities and qualifications.

Currently, I work as a freelance consultant, so I wont be able to answer based on a position at a company. However, I see myself more as a leader than a manager. I like identifying personal capabilities and motivate them to use it efficiently. I believe motivation and inspiration can do miracle in people, that's where I used to focus on, and believe had excellent experience with that. But that doesn't mean that I left the planning and organizing capabilities away, which are the main characteristics of a manager.

I look myself as a Team Leader as well as in my working area to be a  Manager. Rating would be difficult, it depends on nature of work. For example, Team approach for Team Leader and hierarchy approach for Manager.

A Manager balances between organization/ company and all its resources including manpower, whereas the Leader focuses mainly on people management. Perhaps, Leader is a subset of Manager.
