Not necessarily
You can have analysts or even clerical people that are Leaders.
Some managers are great at managing but poor at leadership.
Leadership is a question of developing staff, finding solutions to problems, motivating others and getting buy-in.
(Walk the talk is a good example)
A good book to read is called "Lead Follow or Get out of the Way"

Just because a person is a manager does not mean that he/she is not a leader. Managers are people that keep a group focused on the rules that have to be followed. A leader is a person that has a sense of what to do to accomplish a gold.
With the understanding of the two definitions it is easy to understand that some leaders should not be managers (they don't follow rules).

Yes. A manager is definitely a leader.

Should be but in practice they often are not trained to be leaders. The "Peter Principle" says that a person is promoted to their level of incompetence. That means they keep getting promoted until they get to a position they don't know how to do very well.
Just because someone is a good mechanic doesn't mean they would be a good manager of mechanics.

No, not all managers are leaders.
Better managers are team leaders but by no means are all mangers leaders.
If you have to ask they are NOT a leader.

Unfortunatley, not all managers are leaders. Only the good managers are.

Not always. Silly example, but if you watch Scrubs, you'll see that the chief of medicine is defintely a manager, but not necessarily a leader.
Great show, by the way. :-)
