Your expertise needs to be about how to bring out the best in your team. While autocratic management can produce results, it doesn't cause people to give their best. Further, it's increasingly out of step with the younger generation. Younger employees have been raised on a steady diet of positive reinforcement and don't stay long in an environment where negative reinforcement is a common occurrence. That kind of workplace will make it almost impossible to attract and retain the kind of employees you'll need to move the company forward.
Management is about creating successful employees.
Make that your job mission. When an employee's success is clearly related to the success of the company, everyone wins. I don't mean this only from a financial perspective but in every accomplishment. Find ways to provide positive reinforcement daily. Don't wait for large accomplishments before showing some appreciation or recognition.
