Organizing labor for large scale projects - what’s called project management - is a valuable and useful skill. Large construction projects, complex machinery, electronics, transportation infrastructure. Labor is only a part of putting together that puzzle.
Project management is a type of labor. Workers can, of course, delegate decision making to project managers as long as these managers are ultimately democratically accountable to the entire body of workers in the company
management, leadership and delegation of responsibility doesn’t necessarily have to entail hierarchy and authority.
in a fair democratic system, leadership usually means facilitating a well functioning work environment that lets other laborers do their jobs efficiently, rather than authoritarian micromanagement and decision making.
a leader/manager is simply part of the machinery, not above it.
You can’t build something with only labour. It takes organization. Give a crew plans to build something and someone will have to step up from that crew and manage things, all of a sudden that one guy is no longer labour he’s management.

So you’re ok with management and hierarchy?

The divide is commonly not between laborer/other, but between the working and owning classes.
All those you mention are typically included in those who should be entitled to the fruits of their labor.
For profit landlords, venture capitalists, bankers, stock owners, etc. are typically those classed as leeching off of those performing the labor.
Lol
