My basic recommendations, having survived a Corgi puppyhood, are crate training, bell training, good exercise, and safe socialization.
Any pup can be destructive, but if you limit their access to destructible things and spend as much time with them as possible, they will tend to remain a Good Dog. We kept our pup in her crate when we left the house at first (~2-3 hours max). After a couple months, she graduated to the gated kitchen (~3-4 hours max), and gradually we started trusting her enough to give her more access to the house (probably 5-6 hours, but we rarely leave her home that long). She slept in her crate in our bedroom for about a year, but then we retired the crate and she sleeps in her dog bed.
Potty training went rather smoothly for us. As much as possible, we took her outside every 30 minutes while she was awake. It sounds like it's too frequent, but you're more likely to catch them before they go potty, and they'll learn more from actually going potty outside than having accidents and being rushed outside after the fact. Bell training has worked great as a way for her to tell us when she needs to potty. She learned almost immediately, just from us dinging her bell whenever we went out into the back yard, and now she will ding her bell whenever she wants to go outside. It's a little tricky to teach them to use the bell only for potty breaks, but we are fine with her going outside for non-potty reasons.
One other important detail: there will be accidents, and it's important to clean up their urine using an enzyme-based cleaner (urine destroyer) so that they don't smell it later and decide that it's a good place to go potty again.
With exercise and socialization, you do have to be careful before they complete their puppy vaccines. Don't take them to an open place or dog park with unknown dogs. I think before her vaccinations were complete, we mostly played with her in the back yard and took her to see my parents' dogs. If you know someone with dogs and fully trust that their dogs are up-to-date on their vaccinations, it should be safe to have your pup play with them.
Consult your vet on the specific risks in your area, and weigh any advice you hear elsewhere against their professional recommendations, but as much as possible, exercise your pup daily and let them safely interact with other dogs. Tired dogs are happy dogs, and puppies learn so much from playing with other dogs. Going to the dog park is our pup's most favorite thing in the world, and she will squeak and bark at me when it's time to go there.

I'm not a dog trainer at all, and this is our first dog on our own. I don't know if we just lucked out and got an exceptionally well-mannered pup, but I like to think the information we learned from lots of other dog owners helped her grow up to be a wonderful Corgi girl.
