Yes, but you're leaving the managers in the same place in the power hierarchy.
Imagine instead a company where the manager had roughly the same responsibilities: coordination, planning, assigning work. BUT hr shit like hiring, firing, raises, etc was done by a quorum of workers/employees/machinists.
That is to say keep managers as a job but remove their real power over workers, put managers in the position of employees instead of employers.
They can wear their managerial hat but it's now much much more difficult for them to take as much control as they can get without any regard to costs and benefits.
It's (theoretically) one of the features of a worker's co-operative.
