Always treat employees with respect, but firm respect. You can't let anyone walk all over you, but every employee deserves respect. Listen to them, know what they want and like, even if you can't always give it to them. A common mistake is for a manager to give the most difficult employee special treatment because they don't want to deal with them.
Be consistent. Employees will adapt to just about anything, as long as you are consistent. Employees notice every little thing. Don't think they don't.
The best way to learn time management is to keep track of time and activities. That may sound stupid, but it's true. If you track everything, you'll find out where you're wasting time, and what activities you're wasting time on.

First and most important, you must be fair across the board. Do not engage in preferential treatment.
Secondly as it has been stated already , respect your employees and peers. I always believe that my respect is freely given to all, it is theirs to keep or loose.
Lastly, do not let your personal emotions or feelings be observed by others. Keeping yourself professional in a time of unrest is what displays your cool under pressure and a high level of professionalism.

Don't worry Honey, you will manage. LOL! Treat people the way you want to be treated. It's pretty easy.
If you were good enough to land the job in the first place, you can handle and/or bluff your way through it. Have faith in yourself. :)

Get to know your people, talk to them, remembering small stuff like birthdays sounds silly and a waste of time but it goes a long way.

Be honest with people and treat them with respect. Not always easy, but in the long run it works.

Praise in public, criticize (gently) in private.
