Agreed with poster above, and agreed that learning how to give feedback is 100000% the most important thing. The question I always ask others is, what made your favorite boss great? What made your least favorite boss challenging? You can draw a lot on your own experiences as a direct report to help shape your “gut instinct.”

Ask it of yourself, first! It’s a great starting blueprint for how to think about/not think about things, and it will help you realize that you’re not starting from scratch. Then having the conversation with others (maybe in a more subtle way) can help you understand how they think as individuals and what’s important to them.
If you're in a corporate environment, they should definitely offer people manager training, especially on how to give feedback. Until then, ask your direct reports what they want to do next when it comes to their career or what their career aspirations are. Then, you will know what to focus on when it comes to their development or how to help them. Also, remember that not everyone wants to climb the corporate ladder.
Good point. I do know that both of them are extremely ambitious. One of them intimidates me a bit with his drive, to the extent that I feel I might have to "earn" his respect as a boss. But I feel like I'm probably reading into it too much.

Read books and listen to podcasts by John C Maxwell.
Hello! HR should have training for this. You explicitly need to ask HR for resources to help developing people and your self. Also, Linked in Learning is an option. You may also have to make a small investment into some books for yourself. Good Luck!
Unfortunately most leaders don't receive any leadership training, even in large corporations. It's crazy! It would be helpful to know what roles your team members hold but to give some general advice, there are 3 leadership practices that will have the greatest impact on your teams performance. 1) one:ones 2) team trainings 3) field training (observing and training a team member in live situations). I would start by learning how to run a powerful one on one meeting with a team member. You will be responsible for increasing your people's Skill and Will. One:ones focus on both and are the greatest opportunity to quickly build rapport and buy in from your team members which is initially more important than training them. I'm happy to share details on a great one on one if you'd like. Congratulations on the new role!
