Read/listen to https://www.manager-tools.com/ they posit that all good managers do these four things in abundance:

1. 1 on 1's (which are for the benefit of the direct report not the boss) weekly for 30 minutes - 15 minutes for you, 15 minutes for the direct report.

2. Giving feedback both good and bad in a constructive way

3. Providing coaching and context to the reports work

4. Tactical delegation of tasks both that you know they can do so they feel good about their work, and also some difficult tasks to stretch them (with coaching)

This plus understanding the different types of role power within an oganization, and knowing which type of power to use when and with who.(hint it's often never the right answer to user your role power to say ''do this because I am the boss'' use role power sparingly)

I second the recommendation for Manager Tools. Start with the "Basics" casts on one-on-ones, feedback, coaching, and delegation to get up to speed. Their book The Effective Manager by Mark Horstman is a great place to start, too.

The podcast was super helpful to me in transitioning from IC to management.

This is one of the best recommendations for "beginners" because it offers actionable advice and tools.
