I am a startup founder managing a team of 3 developers and 2 sales persons, I can say from my personal experience that team building and culture are the most important points a new manager can focus on.
1. Team building: you should ensure your team share a vision, are aligned around the same goals, and each one of them is a accountable for one specific subject she/he is good at.
2. Team culture: try to naturally build a cult like culture for your team, by that I mean some kind of special rituals or habits that differentiate you from other teams or groups. This will strengthen the bonds between team members and improve productivity long term.
