Julius Caesar tried to control the ambitious generals by making himself dictator for life - a role which normally had a six months tenure to solve a problem. There was a simple answer - terminate his life.
Augustus learnt from this and took on a back-stage role, sharing power with the senate, but taking on powers of tribune of the plebs (veto), pro-consul (authority outside Rome) and control of the border provinces (where the army was).

Who became emperor of Rome after Caesar?
After Caesar's death Marc Antony was in charge as he was the remaining consul. Now here's where things get messy.

All this took about 13 years before Octavian/Augustus became the sole ruler.

Who was more successful Julius Caesar of Augustus?
This questions has several layers to it. I'll approach it head on without dealing with any side issues. Augustus Caesar was more successful than his uncle, Julius Caesar. I am defining "success" as it affects ancient Rome. Augustus united the empire in a way Julius Caesar could not. Augustus swept away all opposition and created what is now called the Pax Romana. Augustus ( in relative terms ) brought a good degree of peace & prosperity during his life time and the affects lingered on for another 200 years. With sole power he could invest large amounts of money to build public works, reform the bureaucracy and reduce the number of legions under arms. Julius Caesar's life was cut short. When he controlled Rome, defectors worked on his demise. Due to time, he had not enough of it to crush his opposition. Thus he was unable to come close to his nephews accomplishments.
