Dalton Rules... Works for me in the classroom. I am known as being the chill teacher, yet I never have discipline issues in my classroom.
1. Expect the unexpected. Even when you don't know what is going on, you know what is going on. You are the GOD of your domain.
2. Take it outside (or into your office). You don't argue with a subordinate in front of other workers.
3. Be nice... until it is time to not be nice.

Three timeless truths:
Recognize that everyone is not like you. Engage through empathy.
Never surprise an associate in an annual review. Coach year round.
Hire slow. Fire fast.

It's always easier to be stern early and ease up later, rather than the other way around.
I learned this the hard way in my first management position, trying too hard to make people like me. People either look at you as a pushover, or they become so friendly it's hard to clamp down on them.
Also, take your time to learn everyone's role inside and out. You need to be jack of all trades master of none, but what you don't want is trying to manage positions where you don't have good knowledge of what and how they're supposed to do their job.

One single troublesome employee can make you dread going to work everyday. Always be kind and considerate, but start progressive discipline and documentation of anyone who is troublesome.
Taking on “project” employees very seldom works out. Get rid of them as soon as you can.

I can barely manage myself let alone other people.
Please post another thread later about how people deal with stress at work.
