Next month I'm starting a new job (yay!) in which I'll be managing a team of about 5 people in a specific technical area. I've managed small teams before, but not in the job I've had for the last 6-7 years, where I was on a team but worked pretty much on my own, without even much direct supervision. Oh and I'm painfully introverted by nature and feel like I've become practically a hermit working from a cave in the past two years...

In this new job my team will be supporting multiple divisions based in the US, as well as projects scattered around the world. This company is one of the biggest in this field and has a reputation for being fairly competitive and aggressive, which I'm not. I've never even met most of the people I'll be working with, and it seems like it will be a slow transition back to being in an office. I'm noting this previous question for things to read, but I'd appreciate your suggestions for the best ways under the current circumstances to get to know and win the respect of the people I'll be supervising and bring them together to build up the actual technical practice, how to do the dreaded "networking" around the company, and perhaps most of all to manage my own emotions, fears, insecurities and "imposter-syndrome-ness" that I fear will come with a transition to a new and scary job.
