Here are some suggestions. Some are common sense but others require a little work.
Be firm but fair when it comes to discipline.
Demand promptness in yourself and your players.
Be positive when giving instruction or offering constructive advice.
Do NOT be overly concerned with your Win-Loss record. The success of your players' development is not dependent on your wins and losses.
Make the evaluation and opinion of your players yours, not a combination of other coaches, parents and outsiders. You have the first-hand knowledge of them so don't let popular opinion sway your thinking.
Learn to delegate responsibility to your assistants.
Communicate with your assistants.
Demand that your players hustle at all times.
Do not allow profanity.
Do not allow the throwing of equipment.
All coaches going to the coaching boxes should run, not walk. Set a good example.
All coaches should be in the game on every pitch. Be alert for all mistakes made on defense; i.e. positioning and mental errors. When a coach comes to realize that baseball is played one pitch at a time, an entire new world opens up for him and he becomes much more effective.
Use your voice during games. It is an asset and your players are used to hearing it. Don't become mute when the game begins.
Teach.
