The main difference between managers and leaders is the way the two

styles motivate people and teams to achieve objectives. Leaders set the
goals and news directions, challenging the status quo. They are
visionaries and spearhead the team, motivating and leading them to
reach this new direction. Managers on the other hand maintain the status
quo, specialising on conformance to the standard, and managing teams
and individuals around these boundaries that have been set, organising
and directing to achieve the task.

Below table summarizes the above (and more) and gives a sense of the
differences between being a leader and being a manager.
