Joel at Joel on Software has written about "hiring developers" on his blog. That could be a good starting point.
"Team management" is a very broad area. One skill I wasn't familiar with when I was a manager (I was winging it mostly) was coaching. There are a couple of great books on coaching in the workplace by Julie Starr - I've found her work very useful.
You might also find it worth reading "Happy hour is nine to five" by Alexander Kjerulf. It pays to know what makes for a happy workplace as a manager, as many people switch companies due to bad managers, not the work itself!
