Two highly interactive back-to-back half-days that give your mid-level and front-line managers the skills to build trust, give feedback that lands, and calm conflict before it spreads.
They were promoted often because they were technical experts who were good at meeting goals. Then they were handed a team. Fewer than half of managers worldwide (44%) say they’ve ever received management training. (Gallup, State of the Global Workplace 2025)
The cost shows up fast. Gartner research finds that 60% of new managers fail within their first 24 months, largely because they lack leadership and management training. (cited by Wharton Executive Education)
And what employees want from those managers is clear. In a national survey, 58% of U.S. workers called respect a very important motivator at work, compared with 42% for salary. (Argyle-Leger Confidence Report, 2022)
R-Factor closes that gap with skills your managers can use the next morning.

R-Factor runs as two half-day sessions on back-to-back days, from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. Eastern, with breaks built in. Day 2 usually ends early. We designed it this way on purpose.
Your managers stay productive. Each session leaves part of the workday open, so participants can keep up with their teams and their work while they’re in the program.
It respects their time and energy. Few managers can give up a full day to training. And a full day of virtual learning wears out participants and facilitators alike.
The learning sticks. Between sessions, participants do their homework and sleep on what they’ve learned. They come back on Day 2 with new insights and sharper questions than a single long day would produce.
R-Factor is certified by the Association of Corporate Executive Coaches.
Yes. The workshop runs in person at your site or online, with the same interactive exercises and practice in breakout rooms.
Before the workshop, we learn about your organization and the situations your managers face. We use that to build a custom case study and tailor examples throughout. We also research relevant data about your industry and your messaging around core principles and culture.
R-Factor typically runs $895 to $1,150 per participant, depending on whether it’s delivered online or in person, travel, and other factors. That includes both half-days, the DISC and “Am I a Respectful Leader?” assessments, the workbook and job aids, a copy of The Respectful Leader, and one-on-one coaching for every participant. Book a call and we’ll put together a proposal for your organization.
