UX of Being a Manager

There are ways to handle the manager-employee relationship.

One important concept is delegation.  As well as the inverse, micro-managing.

One allows you to give the employee freedom to make themselves strong.  The other requires extra attention to detail and worry from both you and the employee.  You both have to make sure you are super clear about everything, deliverables and expectations and make sure not to switch things midstream.

The UX of working with people is a constantly shifting set of interpersonal relationships, as well as suitability for the role and work itself.

The most important thing is to leave room for honesty.  And the ability to back out of a bad corner.  Leave everyone enough room to breathe & to laugh and you can find yourself in a very good working relationship.
