Leadership development programs

Strategic programs aligned with your organization’s goals

We offer strategic leadership programs aligned with your organization’s goals. The Rösslyng Leadership Programs are based on well-documented organizational psychology theory and methods. These methods promote and support the journey from the first role as a manager through to executive leader.

Behavioral change takes time. To transfer learning into action, Rösslyng Leadership Development Programs apply a comprehensive combination of theory and real-life challenges - challenges that your managers confront on a daily basis.

Leadership coaching

Challenge yourself, grow and achieve more

The journey to grow into a better leader is challenging. Indeed, this is a life-long journey involving trial and error. This process demands both energy and courage.

Rösslyng offers coaching to support you in achieving your goals. This can involve generating development plans, as well as overcoming intrinsic and extrinsic hurdles. Any change that implies behavior and cognition needs a clear goal and strategy, as well as continuous and sometimes thought-provoking feedback, reflection and support.

Many managers benefit greatly by working with an experienced coach. Someone who will support you in reaching your goals faster and with less effort than if you were by yourself.

Dr Edith Rian is trained in Performance Coaching and Corporate and Executive Coaching by The Coaching Academy. She is also a certified Still Moving Practitioner trained in applying mindfulness in complex change processes.

Leadership Development from a Nordic Perspective

Nordic countries are attracting considerable attention. One reason is because they consistently rank highly on global ratings in terms of wealth, productivity, digitalization, education, health, innovation, and happiness.* Much of this success has been accredited to the Nordic leadership style.

This means: 

  • Trust underpins everything 

  • Leadership is participative through delegation of power 

  • Leaders play down their authority and functioning more like a coach  

  • Leaders set an inspiring yet realistic direction 

  • Team cooperate and understand that every employee’s voice is important

The Nordic leadership style initiates more engagement and accountability and develops a breeding ground for creativity.** Rösslyng brings this unique leadership style to the table.

Who is Roesslyng GmbH

About Edith Rian

Edith Rian - Founder and Director of Rösslyng GmbH

Originally from Norway, I relocated to Germany with my family in 2012. Working and living in different countries and collaborating across borders have afforded me significant cross-cultural experience.

In addition to being a consultant, I am a mum, an avid runner and a curious reader.

So I began my journey.

My explorations drove me to initiate the first leadership training for young science leaders in Norway. The outcome was so successful that I delved into the topic of leadership.

Fast forward to today, and I've acquired a breadth of business experience across a wide range of organizations in several countries. I have worked as a manager in the life sciences sector, including in a multinational Fortune 500 company, German SMEs, a start-up and in academia. My roles have included hands-on experience in operations management and R&D teams up to senior leadership in laboratories and manufacturing companies.

Always the scientist at heart, I only support leadership models based on evidence and best practice. My programs offer methods and models supported by scientific research.

Where the name Rösslyng comes from

If you’ve ever had the chance to hike in the Nordic mountains, you’ll notice clusters of small, pink flowers everywhere. These are called Rösslyng. While they may appear delicate, these tiny flowers are resilient and thrive in the harsh Nordic winters. The Rösslyng reflects the modest but "together we are strong" spirit of the north.
