Hi, I think you should start by making sure you set clear directions, and everybody understands. Then, just also be open to listening when people have something to say. A surprisingly low part of your time will be spent as a 'policeman'. Most people do not try to cheat or be lazy, they just want to understand and be listened to. As a manager, you are not the dictator of a small country. You are a sailing boat captain who is looking at the waves, and asking his team for the state of the boat.
