What's new in Organisational Learning for Spring Term 2026? 

The MyStaffDevelopment platform is live. This is one place to go to book workshops, access eLearning and see your learning record. 

This means that you will no longer book Organisational Learning courses via the Training and Development System nor find your self-access learning on the Astute platform. 

You will find everything in one place on our new platform. 

Please note that Organisational Learning and Development courses, workshops and programmes are no longer on the TDS.

New people manager toolkit

Managing others takes a lot of skill and knowledge. To support you in managing your team, creating an environment where they can flourish, developing your skills and knowing the things you need to know, we’ve developed this toolkit. We’ve brought together resources on the key areas for manager effectiveness at LSE. The toolkit will help you build on the knowledge and experience you already have and support you in your day to day.

New e-Learning modules 

We've added some new modules related to professional development and personal development and wellbeing. All of these modules are under an hour in length and some can be completed in as little as 20 minutes. 

For example, we've added:

• How to handle big emotions 
• Your brain and uncertainty
• Challenging core beliefs to boost happiness 
• Securing Sites for SharePoint and Teams
• AI: Responsible Use at LSE

LSE Leadership framework 

LSE’s leadership framework outlines the School’s approach to leadership and within this the expecations of anyone leading at the School. The framework recognises that leadership can be demonstrated by everyone, not just those with leadership in their job description, in varying degrees, at individual, team, and LSE levels.

The framework has been developed so that it is underpinned by our organisational ethics and informed by our beliefs which in turn informs our actions as leaders at LSE.

The framework encompasses three leadership dimensions each with observable positive indicators:

• Leading Self - How I lead myself in my day-to-day work
• Leading Others - How I lead groups or teams, either formally or informally
• Leading LSE & Beyond - How I demonstrate leadership to contribute to LSE’s success

This framework has three primary objectives:

• Establish professional standards for leadership across LSE that define the culture needed to deliver our strategic vision
• Embed these standards throughout the employee lifecycle in practical ways to attract, retain, engage, and develop talent
• Equip leaders with the mindsets, skillsets and practices necessary to foster shared ownership of our cultural norms at LSE 

You can find the full framework here. 

The framework is the key pillar of our leadership development offer at the School. It underpins all of our development pathways and programmes.
