White & MacLean Publishing is a business partnership between Alasdair White and Fiona MacLean.
Alasdair White was educated at King Alfred’s College in Winchester, United Kingdom (now the University of Winchester) where he
studied education and physical science. He then spent some time in Spain teaching English before returning to the UK and a career
as a business journalist, newspaper editor and management consultant. In 1987 he moved to the Netherlands and in 1993 to Belgium.
He is currently a faculty member of the United Business Institutes in Brussels, the European Management Development Institute,
also in Brussels, and holds a visiting faculty position at Hoa Sen University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The author of three best-selling
management books, he is in much demand as a speaker and seminar facilitator. He is also a Fellow of the International Napoleonic Society.
Fiona MacLean studied music at Trinity College in London before working in the music industry. Now resident in Belgium, she runs
PMPublications, a professional services consultancy that provides pre-publication assistance to the publishing sector (mainly editing,
copy-editing and proofreading).
The combined talents of the partners means that White & MacLean Publishing is well equipped to function as a small, independent
publisher focusing on thrillers and fantasy in terms of fiction, and management, history and social sciences in the non-fiction field.
The objective is to publish between four and six books each year either as hard-copy or as electronic documents and eBooks.
The books will be marketed online, although we hope to get them into the major bookshops, and will, initially, be sold direct to the readers.

In this paper Alasdair White seeks to take the established behavioural models relating to comfort zones, group and individual development, and managing change, and use them to create a methodology for understanding and managing performance.
