There are many ways to be an adequate manager (most are). There are some personal qualities that a "good" manager must possess in order to build a workforce (manpower) that is effective, efficient, and economically profitable. They are usually moderately (not very) interested in their employees. They show respect in order to gain employee confidence and respect of their position. They will not "touch" employees in any way except a firm but forgiving handshake. They will not "pry" into their private lives except as a courtesy...hope you are feeling better...glad to hear that your son or daughter is back from the hospital... anything personal should not be discussed at work nor gossiped about.
Employees are paid to do a specific task or a series of tasks for pay. They are not yours to exploit socially. You pay for their time, their skill/s, their talent, or their services. That requires a modem of respect of both parties. Give them room to develop to their best potential and their work performance will improve as a result of earned self-esteem. Remember to follow any written or spoken rules and regulations yourself (it is how to prevent their resentment or other attitude related problems resulting from a double standard in the workplace).
If you must 'stand around' while they work, try to look busy. If it is too challenging to fein, carry a paper memorandum with you whenever you leave your office. It will at least provide a semblance of responsibility beyond 'watching them'.
Have a great safety program initiative in place. The more concern you show for their safety, the more productive they are willing to be. Never have anyone do anything that you have NOT done or would refuse to do personally.

Yes. There are many things involved with being a good manager and there ARE people who can tell you how to be one. However the problem lies in whether or not you can accomplish being a good manager.

NOTHING....YOU ARE NOT SURE!!! If something happens, you will have to say the thruth if you are asked. You should suggest changing locks, for everyone, or leave an anonymous note on the locker, that is if there no hidden cameras, if I were you I would not talk.

Always say please, thank you, when you have time.
Listen to your employees questions and concerns.
Understand that everyone has a life, families, give time off when needed and they will be better employees...and that will make you a better manager.

The CEO of Time Warner, I have forgotten his name, once said the "Good leaders make you believe in them. Great leaders make you believe in you." Good luck.
