I'd say, don't lead/manage but assist.

Don't decide on your own if possible.

Decision coming from top? Communicate that. Otherwise, ask your team what it think is the best course of action.

Only decide on your when something would be blocked.

I always read about two sides.

"Managers are needed, because there are tough decisions to make and people need to be led!"

"Managers aren't needed, people can govern them on their own!"

I think the truth is in the middle.
