“The manager’s function is not to make people work, but to make it possible for people to work.”

Yes. Management is a supportive role.
But most of the time it is modeled as the “head” of the team and the self-perception of the manager is to be the most important person “everyone else can be replaced (by an AI)!”
On the other hand other supporting roles have this too, the janitor also often perceives themselves as the most important person – alas the salary is different.
