A team leader motivates, encourages and inspires the team while a manager is reponsible for producing results or bottm line for the business.
Team leader tends to be hands on, supervisory and is generally given a task (whether that's micro or macro) for his team to achieve in x time. They tend to do some of the work themselves, delegate the rest to others, then keep track of the team to ensure the work gets done by reallocating resource as needed.
A manager tends to be more hands off and strategic - they will usually delegate the tasks to teams rather than parcelling out the work individually. They tend to be less involved in the day to day activities of the individuals they are managing, and focus more on the bigger picture
