Delegation is usually the biggest problem for new manager. Second place is probably trusting people to do their work, they will do it in their own way. In our field there are so many ways to solve the problems we have as long as they are solving the problem along guidelines you set, then that is good. Be wary of wanting people to solve problems the way you would solve it.

Hire manager-of-one types of people that don't need hand holding to get their job done. Don't worry that your staff want your job, many of the senior software people do not want management at all.
