Is Management and Leadership the same?

There seems to be a separation between what we learn in educational institutions and what we learn in professional training. Starting in the early 1970's, business schools stop teaching management and leadership together. Management was defined more in terms of its legal obligations as decision-making agents for the business entity. With amazing success under Jack Welch, GE formally separated the two in terms of responsibilities. Does it matter?
