 Broadly speaking, leaders deal with interpersonal aspects of a manager's job, and management deal more with  the administrative aspects, like planning, organizing and controlling.
A leader is a visionary that directs the company, in contrast a manager is the key to implement the vision. However, a great manager has to lead and vice versa, effective leaders also manage.
As the table shows a good balance between the two, it is a matter of combining qualities of both to reach perfection.
