Good advice for an agile manager! I think the most important advice an agile manager can follow is trust the team. You have to allow the team to self organize. They have to figure out how to work together and solve problems. This can be really hard for some managers, but what the team needs most is your trust and your support, they need you removing organizational impediments and things outside their control, not solving technical problems they are working on.
Step in only when necessary. Especially with new or inexperienced team members, coach, train, or mentor as needed but tread lightly. If your direct report is experienced and competent, consider not attending at all. They will appreciate the trust you have in them.
