  If your manager asked you to fill in for him, didn't he tell you what you have to do?

If you have been given the managers job while he is away on holiday, you're not normally expected to do anything except handle emergency situations where authority is needed. Apart from that you just keep things ticking over until your manager returns.

Motivating peers and 'adding value' is not your role. You shouldn't make any changes.

What you should do is make good notes on anything that your manager might need to know about, keep a solid paper trail on any issues that arrive, and if necessary liaise with higher authority if you cannot handle something or need clarification.
