I believe there are many differences.

1- Leader depends on goodwill but boss on authority.

2- Leader says 'WE' but boss Says 'I'.

3- Leader Asks people but boss commands them.

4- Leader develops people but boss uses them.

5- Leader generates enthusiasm but boss Inspires fear.

You can say that:

we manage things, but lead people.

So, the leader should have the following:

1- aspiration

2- inspiration

3- motivation

there is a lot of difference in leader and a manager.

1. A manager focuses on the task where as a leader focuses on the vision/big picture.

2. Day to day matters are priority for a manager but a leaders know how to set priorities.

3. mostly managers get stuck in non issues whereas a leader effectively ignores them and invest the time into quality works.
