As the 1SG you should not really care what they think of you. 5% are going to hate your guts no matter what you do.

Know your job, do it very well, let the troops know what you expect of them, hold them to it and don't play favorites.

Be Professional.

And don't let the CO be surprised at a Higher Up's meeting. If something not so nice is going on he should know, even if he "don't know". His correct answer when one of the higher ups slings a dart is "Yes Sir, I know about it. My 1SG is handling it/took care of it."
