1) Early on: Be vulnerable in concepting. Have fun, and make the process fun for others. With your own team and any vendors. Joke around. Voice dumb ideas. People in this work want to love what they're doing. And it will make the work better.
2) Later: On set, do more than your job. Recycle empty water bottles. Ask hair/MU if you can carry anything for them. Hold open doors. It's basic stuff... But you wouldn't believe how many creatives think that labor is beneath them. Also, take little notes all day. If you can spot inconsistencies with something that no one else noticed, you'll be hero for a day.
3) Later later (in post): Gut check things with the team regularly. A lot of people are too afraid to voice an opinion about the small stuff.
Don’t get too drunk on the first night. Save that for the last night.
