Three key differences between managers and leaders
A leader has diverse skills and is required to inspire those they are leading, but managers may or may not inspire the people below them. Leaders focus more on innovation, whereas managers are more concerned with rationality and control. Leaders work with utmost relative independence, while managers must follow a particular command chain.
Are all managers leaders and are all leaders managers
The significant difference between the two is that leaders have people below them and follow them while managers only have people who work for them. Therefore, all managers are considered leaders, but it is not in many cases where the leaders are managers.

Best and worst boss, leader or manager
My best boss was very mindful of others and usually noticed people and was very social when speaking with people. He also liked asking to follow up questions, which boosted my relationship and work morale. He was more of a manager rather than a leader.
what made the person worst boss, leader or manager
The worst boss was very rude and controlling, and most people did not open up to him. He always had the urge to talk, giving his way of doing things, building abysmal relationships with the employees. He was more of a leader.
How leadership style affects being a leader or manager
From the leadership style assessment, laissez-faire leadership helps me be more of a manger than a leader. This is because it allows the junior staff to make decisions and use the suggestions in making solutions.
