What’s the difference between leadership and management in real-life situations?

I hear a lot about leaders vs. managers, but how does this apply in daily work? Can someone share real examples of how they approach both?

In real life, leadership focuses on inspiring, guiding, and motivating people toward a shared vision, while management emphasizes planning, organizing, and controlling processes to achieve goals efficiently. Leaders drive change and innovation; managers ensure stability, structure, and consistent performance.
