As someone told me once, when things start to go bad as a first officer you turn to the left and look for confirmations/answers.. As a captain you might still want to turn to the left for the same purpose, but all you'll see is just the reflection of your image.
Now you'll be the one giving answers and making decisions!
I was told exactly the same thing when I graduated from the RHS to the LHS of a turboprop. I was so impressed with the succinct summation of the job I still remind myself of it every time I post on PPrune!
