Why not both? Project, functional, top and enterprise manager.

I will talk about management in the context of project management.

Managing "developers" turns people into resources (worse yet combined with micro management) thus I believe "management" should be seldom used and use "leadership" instead.

Project/product Managers should only deal with "what" and leave "how" to developers and shield developers from being told how to implement a certain feature (unless required 👈 which is another grey area...).
