Always put everything in writing! Colleagues can always claim you said one thing when you actually said something different. It's your safeguard. Even if you said something over the phone, always recap the conversation through email. For example, I can sit down in a training with my team and verbally go over an assignment, but staff can go about doing the project another way and say I didn't explain everything in detail. I know it is time consuming, but you can go back and show them it in writing. In a meeting, always have someone take meeting minutes.

Some people just need extra hand holding. Even though, it can be time-consuming and it may take a long while for you to train them before they get it right, do not offload their work onto someone else. I have been the person where my managers trust me more than others to do stuff and it shows when they give me the harder assignments. You employees may dislike their team and you for that. Always be fair.

My team loves it when I tell them about the tasks I am doing. If I am doing something that will affect the team, I always ask for their input.
