You could also say one is defining/policing parameters, and the other is being the designated representative of the team’s choices within those parameters.
The manager defines the “no” (boundaries of what’s acceptable) the leader defines the “yes” (what will the team do next given the demands).
People often try to do both, which means defining a very narrow “you do this now” which ends up feeling authoritarian.
