To my mind, management is about having direct reports and doing a lot of work around things relating to that responsibility: quarterly reviews, compensation and promotion discussions, assigning work and suchlike.
Leadership is about leading: helping the company make strategic decisions about what problems to solve and how to solve them, mentoring and inspiring and educating others, generally up-leveling the wider organization but without the direct responsibility of managing individuals.
