As a CTO of not big company (YET!), i could confirm that it IS possible. Not in a 8 hour day tho :)
My developers team is of 7 + 2 qa + sysadmin.
5 of 7 are juniors, and it takes a good portion of day to guide, teach and review their work.
Techical discussions, decisions i am making daily, future plannings and establishing a path that we will go, takes a good part of the day too. Usually i am having daily standups with the team, private calls with all developers (to be sort of in touch), calls with CEO, chat with custoner support, and a lot of reading daily, just to stay in 'shape' and to know the trends, as well to learn other people experience.
Not on daily basis, but every now and then i am jumping in coding to get things done faster.
Daily, i do some kind of pair coding and education with our developers.
Planning tasks, sorting out responsibilities, delegating techincal tasks ... I love this job :)
