Leaders vs. Managers….. Are they really different?

"The debate between leadership and management has been raging for a number of years. I feel that the distinction between management a leadership is useful one, in that it help us gain a better understanding of leadership and causes us to reflect on our own behaviour, asking ourselves, "Are we really leading?" So what are the differences between managers and leaders?
"There is a profound difference between management and leadership, and both are important. To manage means to bring about, to accomplish, to have charge of or responsibility for, to conduct. Leading is influencing, guiding in a direction, course, action, opinion. The distinction is crucial" – Warren Bennis
Warren Bennis, in his book "On Becoming a Leader" he describes his view of the differences between managers and leaders as follows:

_The manager administers; the leader innovates.
_The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
_The manager maintains; the leader develops.
_The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
_The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
_The manager accepts reality; the leader investigates it.
_The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
_The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
_The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader has his or her eye on the horizon.
_The manager imitates; the leader originates.
_The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
_The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or her own person.
_The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing."
