The difference between manager and leader:

One issue that precipitates opportunities to show the distinction is when a leader is given a position (in employment) by appointment. While the function of a manager appointed to such a position carries a certain likelihood of success based on prior experience in management and other faculties of human performance, a leader who is appointed on the same criteria is less likely to achieve to the same extent if true leadership is what's required.

As you allude to in this post, managing is not the same as leading.

Indeed, the appointment of a leader should throw a different complexion on what the position requires. The adage, “do as I say, don't do as I do”, used by a manager may well have been appropriate, but it is certainly not much use to a leader.
