Read "The Alliance" by Reed Hoffman.

My best advice:

- weekly 1:1s - accept that you will not be as knowledgeable about everything (lack of time) - establish expectations at the very beginning - start off with realizing that no one will retire from the current company. Let your directs know that at some point you expect they will move on. This is so liberating.
