Put yourself in the CEO's shoes and see the entire company end to end. Then see how your team is contributing to the bigger story. Work on bringing business context to tasks. Help your team members see the business/strategy line of thought behind decisions. Once team members have context to the work they do, they are better motivated and bring in valuable insights. Always appreciate and bring spotlight on them for successes. Always take on the blame and never forward criticism directly to your team members. You are the buffer. Read books on strategy/business to gain greater perspective. Train yourself and your team in second and third order thinking. Helping them come up with all kinds of scenarios around their tasks. Finally, be humble, caring, and be nice to everyone. Cheers!
