I always try and split these two roles like this:
A manager is someone who performs an administrative function - managing processses and people - a good manager tends to be methodical and deliver results - managers tend to be appointed by the business
A leader is someone who inspires others around them - they motivate and inspire people and create a sense of team - a good leader is appointed by their peers and colleagues, even when a business says otherwise - you can't appoint inspiration

A manager is someone that works on the day-to-day activities to achieve the short and long term goals of the company.
A leader sets those goals. The goals that maximize the value of the company, that incent the workers to do their best, that help acheive the success of the company - over a very long term.

I agree with the above but I would say that a good leader creates leaders.

A manager follows and enforces policies their job title gives them authority
A leader creates followers. A good leader isn't necesarily the boss. If you're hiring someone... Hire a leader.
