Best of luck, and looking forward to reading more.

A few pieces of advice:

- praise in public, criticize in private, even in the team.

- bad things are your fault, good things your team's effort. It pays off in the long run

- Read "Drive" on Motivation (Dan Pink). Very interesting.

Set expectations, and hole people responsible. They might gripe in the short term, but they'll respect you more over time.
