Lot of good advice here already so I'll just keep it short.
Don't lie to your people. They'll figure it out, sometimes as you're lying to them. And they'll never forget it.
Don't take from your people. That is pretty vague, but one example is don't take credit from them; give them the credit whenever possible. That breeds loyalty like you wouldn't believe.
Someone earlier mentioned taking the blame for your people, and I 100% concur. Shit rolls downhill, and part of your job as their manager is to shield them from the higher ups when necessary. That also will go a long way towards building trust/loyalty.
Remember everything is a test and everything is a teaching moment. How you handle adversity, and it will happen, can make/break you as a manager. I used to call those types of situations 'challenges to be met.'
That's it for me. Carry on.
