It depends on your employees.

I'm not a manager, but there are a few things I've observed:
-Try to make clear what the action items are for your employees. Don't leave them guessing or you will be underwhelmed
-Favor iteration over trying to make things perfect. Be patient and calm so that employees aren't afraid to come to you with work-in-progress. Make clear to employees that when there is something to be delivered you don't want to see something perfect you want to see it at 80% so you can provide feedback.
-Don't fuck up and say something inappropriate or you will regret it.
-Don't visibly favor one employee over another
-Flatter slightly for morale but don't go overboard.

I would say it more depends on the type of job. But I agree with your list. You forgot the most important one of all: Just b urself

an assistant manager basically goes around and helps the real manager manage things.

You learn your stuff from the manager you work with.

if you have concerns just be proactive and show up willing to learn everything that your boss puts in front of you
