Ask HN: Tips for Engineering Manager

I've recently started managing a very big team for the first time. I'm still trying to figure out a good model. Daily stand-ups? What to focus on in weekly meetings? How to make the most from retrospective? In a previous team I found the stand-ups very boring as it was mostly for the manager and not for us, as people on the team worked on different things.

Also, what's a typical path going from a team manager (EM1) to senior manager (EM2)? What are the things I should focus on to show I'm ready for managing managers? (I understand it can take a few years)
