You can be a good manager without being a leader.
Management is more about numbers, while leadership is about driving people towards a goal by consent. Leadership is achieved through a set of qualities as charisma or enthusiam.
On the other hand, you can be a good leader without being an effective manager.
Hard it is to combine both, but it's not impossible.

Leadership is a more encompassing quality than management.
Management is about arranging resources, including oneself and/or others, in the optimum way to implement a preconceived plan of action.
Leadership adds to implementation the additional action of innovation through which a leader identifies and exemplifies possibilities to accomplish something that has never previously been accomplished, in a way that is not preconceived.
It will take leadership (e.g. Al Gore) for a concerted effort to manage global warming. The implementation practices are generally quite clear but to initiate those practices requires inspiration coming from insight and/or the desperation coming from pain.
Nothing happens without management and nothing new happens without leadership.

Leadership means all leading, not necessarily by managers. Managers are not leaders they take care of the business end, leaders are the people with the vision and the skills to move the people in the company along. A Manager will have the leaders take the company where it needs to go.

Leadership is an area where you are working out in the field i.e.orientation study,leading that situation .Management is commanding a situation and ensuring the smooth running of that given situation.Yes they are both equally important,they usually have to be organized to work in unison together.

There is no differentiation between leadership and management. One, provided it is effective, includes the other. Poor management is always poor leadership and poor leaders are always poor managers.

Leadership is about doing the right thing; management is about doing things right.
Both are essential to a successful endeavor.
