Takes awhile to get a hang of it. You've already picked up on a couple of the harder challenges, and are aware of your own short comings in these regards: that puts you ahead of 80% of managers! Now try every day to get better. Buy some books, read some websites, and now you are on the manager journey.
Best managers I know, find talent and grow it. So delegate, train, motivate. Strait shooting is better then being passive aggressive or allowing people to fail. Feels worse up front sometimes, but better for all concerned. Can't tell you how many times I've had a dialog in my own head about an under performing employee then eventually confronted them and they said "Oh, that's what you want me to do, sure." And then, by god, they went and did it. Be repetitive. Be helpful to others in the org. Margret Thatcher famously said "Everybody brings me problems, he brings me solutions." Be that guy. .... point is there is a million things like this shit.
