Leadership skills denotes being leader is better than manager. But the posts of 'manager' is more in practice than than those of 'leader'. I am keen the explore the reasons.

I don't fully understand the question. Let's look at this piece: "Leadership skills denotes being leader is better than manager." Does this mean that you consider that skills usually attached to good leadership are more demanding than those for good management? While I agree that a good leader is generally more technically competent than a good manager, I think that a good manager should really also have all of the best leadership skills to some degree, plus those more unique to management. However, I have found good managers to be in very short supply. :-)

@James R Knaub ... As a trainer, I deliver sessions in our training on 'Leadership'. We contrast the roles of Leaders with managers. Even literature says leader has more qualities and the role of leader is desirable.
But then why are the posts like 'Marketing manager', 'Finance Manager' or 'general manager' in existence in organization? Why not 'Marketing Leader' or 'General Leader'? Even in those organizations where both exists, 'team leader' comes under 'manager' in hierarchy. I am searching for literature to support such existing practice
