How do I be a good manager for my employees?

Recently got promoted to gm of a chain convenience store/gas station. I got the job because the last manager didn’t know how to do anything so I started learning everything so important stuff could get done, so I got promoted after he was finally fired since I already sort of knew the job. I’ve been reading everything about people’s complaints with their managers since I’m in a position of power now and don’t want to abuse it. I make sure that I work at least 9-12 hours 5 days a week, so I’m doing my part cashiering and cleaning and doing normal store duties so I’m sharing the work with them. If someone asks for a day off I let them have it and work their shift for them as well, so I’m not asking other people to work on their days off. I try to be on call 24/7…

I’ve been reading everything about people’s complaints with their managers since I’m in a position of power now and don’t want to abuse it. I make sure that I work at least 9-12 hours 5 days a week, so I’m doing my part cashiering and cleaning and doing normal store duties so I’m sharing the work with them. If someone asks for a day off I let them have it and work their shift for them as well, so I’m not asking other people to work on their days off. I try to be on call 24/7 so I can go in and help with any issues. I’ve also been doing all of the store tasks so people just need to worry about cashiering and have an easier job. Does anyone have ideas of anything else I can do to be better? This is my first management position and hopefully my last but I want to make sure I’m doing the best job possible to make work less terrible for my employees!
