You're going to mess up and people will try to manipulate you. Trust yourself, be respectful and professional, and just keep showing up. You'll get good at this, but only if you keep trying.
If you don't know what to say or are feeling angry, don't say something just to have a response. Its super rare that you need to commit on the spot. If you get negative feedback from your boss, wait a day before you try to start panic-changing things on the team. Bosses are flighty and under pressure, try to keep it constructive.
Your main job is to keep the team productive. If you do this, you can leverage having a team that delivers into raises for yourself and your team -- eventually.
