i've never worked in a corporate setting but I think you are asking mostly for general leadership advice.

there's much written on the subject and probably at some point maybe you had some leaders you thought well of. there is no perfect answer for every situation, but in general if you actually care about the people you are in charge of, things work out.

Dont be afraid to take responsibility for others and get into their business. push some buttons and you'll learn what people respond positively to, negatively, etc. you just have to learn your people. don't try to make people happy, try to incentivize and reward them for being helpful. nobody wants to be treated like a baby, they want to be helpful and respected.

you can be an actual asshole and fake it all, check the right boxes, and be fine too i suppose. nobody really pays attention to anything. you know those types, they ask how you are doing but dont listen to your response. They are doing the 'good leader' things to do you can read in a book. It fools most people so i guess it doesn't matter. I find it much easier to just be honest and actually care. Dont have to remember to do shit that way, it just happens naturally.

if you are better than people at something, make sure you demonstrate it from time to time. If you aren't, just avoid doing it.

If you dont have anything to do, jump in and help the troops. If you dont have time, delegate.

Mostly you only need to provide inspiration and focus. The people can do everything necessary, just have to focus them on the right things at right time. Being in charge does not mean you are above the others in the team, it's just a different position. Somebody has to be free from low level details so that they can see how the team is moving towards the bigger picture goals.
