I disagree heavily with this answer. Management serves an incredibly valuable purpose: it sets the priorities for the work. If I've got five things on my plate, to deliver to five different areas, someone has to figure out what order I tackle those. And if your answer is, "You should decide that for yourself!" - then you're requiring that each and every developer in the company has a full strategic picture of the company and its future (because otherwise they won't be able to answer that question.)

Plus, capitalism kinda proves that this mindset is wrong. I mean, if managers truly didn't add worth to the company, guess what: companies wouldn't have them. Because a company that saved millions of dollars on middle management salary would have a natural advantage over the traditional company, and those manager-less companies would crush the ones that did.
