Personally I don't see manager and leader as synonyms.

A manager is an individual who is responsible for planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources — including people, finances, and materials — to achieve specific organizational goals effectively and efficiently.

A leader is an individual who influences, inspires, and guides others toward achieving a common goal or vision. Leadership involves setting direction, motivating people, building trust, and fostering a positive environment where individuals can thrive and contribute effectively.

While management focuses on systems, processes, and tasks, leadership focuses on people, vision, and change.

While a manager directs work, a leader inspires performance. One person can be both, but leadership is more about who you are and how you influence others, not just what position you hold.
