In a sufficiently large organization, managers are hired to have technical (or legal, or financial) knowhow and to use that expertise to provide information to the CEO to not take time from those doing the work. Likewise, those doing the work often aren't even permitted to communicate with the CEO.
In a small organization, the reality is that many hats must be worn. That may mean developers play manager to some degree, but also the CEO must be prepared to step into the trenches.
