My advice to you is this: measure your success not in what you accomplish but what those that report to you accomplish. Take all the blame and pass off the praise to them. Never fire anyone but motivate those that need it to find more suitable work.

Congrats Boss man! Just as long as you treat your employees with respect and set a consistent example of what you expect from the them, you should be fine. I've always respected the bosses I've had who were willing to put in the work just like me. Now it doesn't always work that way, some people will try to get over on you no matter how good of a boss you are. For those folks I say be professional, treat them firmly and fairly by the book, and try not to take it personal when they get under your skin. Or you could always go Donald Trump on them-"you're fired", although I believe that's trademarked so you'd probably have to pay old Trump if you use his line. Good Luck

Thanks guys, that pretty much gels with the way I prefer to lead. Whenever I've led a team I try to keep in mind a saying often attributed to Warren Buffet: "The secret to success is hiring people smarter than you then getting out of their way." I've been fortunate to have some very good and very bad examples to learn from.
