I got my first employee two weeks ago.
So it's now up to me to manage said employee.
I gave him a clear task, helped him figure out the first steps, I'm (almost) always available for questions and I tell him not to overdo it and that he doesn't owe me overtime.
I'm not into micro managing, I've got other stuff to do.
Last week, we reviewed the work he did so far and we made some revisions.
Since I've been programming professionally for 13 years and he just started he can learn a lot from such sessions.
And, of course, I asked him what he wanted of a good work environment and provided (he picked his own laptop and he wanted a mechanical keyboard).
Oh yeah, and give proper praise for a job well done!

Basically what I wished my managers would do yet never did for some reason.
I hope I can continue doing this even when I get more employees.
