My view is Leader and manager are complement of each other .To become a manager there should be a quality of leadership because without leading the things no one can become manager and in the same way to become a leader there is need of managment.eg. If i want to lead myself ,then i need to manage myself first. Without management no one can Lead .in other words managment is the foundation of leadership.e.g.Leading company always have good management.Answer of your above defined problem: Here project manager manage the project and give assignment to his/her project leader.Project leader again manage the things and assign it to their team members so we can say project leader is indirectly a manager as well as leader also .so we can not blame that leader reports to manager ,indirectly manager reports to manager.
What a pelaurse to find someone who identifies the issues so clearly
