You have an incorrect ON clause at the join, this works:
inner join Employees m on e.mgr = m.EmpId;

inner join Employees m on e.mgr = m.EmpId;
The mgr column references the EmpId column.

No, the correct join is:
inner join Employees m on e.mgr = m.EmpID;
You need to match the ManagerID for the current employee with the EmployeeID of the manager. Not
with the ManagerID of the manager.
update
As noted by Andrey Gordeev:
You'd also need to add m.Ename to your SELECT query in order to get the name of the Manager in your
result. Otherwise you'd only get the managerID.

select e.ename as Employee, m.ename as Manager

from emp e, emp m
where e.mgr = m.empno
If you want to get the result for all the records (irrespective of whether they report to anyone or not),
append (+) on the second table's name
select e.ename as Employee, m.ename as Manager
from emp e, emp m
where e.mgr = m.empno(+)
