I made Captain! Now how do I be one?

Hi all
I have flown single pilot to my first thousand hours and had a blast so far. Upon reaching 900 hours I went directly into left seat training on a light twin, passed my single pilot PPC at 1000 and now find myself being Captain essentially without ever being a copilot. (Poor me, I know)

I am now finding it slightly difficult to react to those in the right seat who has less experience and less "hands and feet" in the airplane. At what point do tell them "I have control". Obviously I know safety is number one, and don't ever compromise it, ever, but there is something to be said for learning by experience and your own mistakes. just looking for input on the whole situation all together.

Any insights at all on the many aspects of being a quality Captain would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
