Thanks

There are many points of differences between them we can tell the most important of them 

  • Leadership is an inherent qualities born with the person while manager is a position and title gave to someone who desirve it or may be not! 
  • Leadership is unnecessary to be from managers level, it just an adjective someone has may be S-he is from low level, while manager always from managers level and it is a title and position BUT not an adjective 
  • Leadership and leader has many things to do a long with his -her normal tasks which given from top management, while manager has to follow his-her top management only
  • Leaders not necessary to exist inside formal organization but managers should be 
  • Leaders create the goal, create followers, unite followrs in one body, achieve the goals by their teams, managers manage the performance and repeort the top management 

Simple note: there is a thin string between manager and leader ,if the first one follow some steps he will turn into leader directly

Dear Omar Saad Ibrahem Almadani thank you for the invitation to share my opinion.

First of all, to clear things, the person who decides, to hire you or fire you, who gives you guidelines for your job, decides to grant you a vacation, and the one responsible for your salary is your boss. A boss can be someone in the lower management up to an owner or CEO in larger corporations. Now to be claimed a leader, a boss must be able to inspire, shape the strategy according to everybody's feedback in a team, the person who everybody goes for advice and the one who without much effort can bind different people into a mutual force that can strive for giving better results and feel satisfied in the process.

 

In plain words, a leader can be a person with the above qualities even if he or she isn't always the boss. On the other hand, many bosses would love to be leaders as well.

This photo best sums up the main difference between a boss and a leader:

Boss v Leader

The boss dictates what to do and where to go. The leader shows and guides his team with what to do and where to go.

Simple Explanation :- A LEADER is like a Close Friend - who wants you or the team to excel in all avenues, by correcting you to reach more heights than he is, as he is fearless of not loosing his job or position, as he is confident as to who he is and what are his capabilities. Whereas A MANGER is like your​ Step Brother or Step Mom - who bully's you and the team to the maximum to show off to the management that with his skills all things are getting done and he limits all accessibility of you or team to top management also doesn't much appreciate ones Skills, smartness or efforts due to the fear of loosing his chair, as there are more educated, young, dynamic and smart guys under his team, which he suppresses not to jump to his chair, due to fear. This is the answer to your question Difference between a Leader and Manager. But that doesn't mean all Managers are like that. As Leaders are born from Managers, their next step.

1- Boss gives orders , leaders requests

2-Leaders lead by example , i.e (He will do and then asks you to do the same.)

3-Boss uses the one man show style, leader would negtiate to acheieve best results

4-Boss doesn't share his knowledge or experience so no one of his team would take his place one day, leaders create more leaders
