Education[edit]
His undergraduate and M.B.A. degrees are from the University of Texas, Austin, and
his Ph.D. in business is from Louisiana State University.

Career[edit]
During the late 1960s through the 1970s, as an Associate Dean and Professor of
Marketing, at the University of Colorado at Boulder, he received four awards for
teaching excellence.
Dr Massey was honored with the W.M. McFeely award presented by the International
Management Council for "significant contribution to the field of management and human
relations." During the 1980s and 90s he was the #1 ranked resource for the Young
Presidents Organization International. In What Works At Work (Lakewood Publications,
1988) he was cited as one of the 27 most influential workplace experts of the time. His
work is focused on values, generations, and Significant Emotional Events (SEE).

Development of values[edit]
Morris Massey has described three major periods during which values are developed.
1. The Imprint Period. Up to the age of seven, we are like sponges, absorbing
everything around us and accepting much of it as true, especially when it comes from
our parents. The confusion and blind belief of this period can also lead to the early
formation of trauma and other deep problems. The critical thing here is to learn a sense
of right and wrong, good and bad. This is a human construction which we nevertheless
often assume would exist even if we were not here (which is an indication of how deeply
imprinted it has become).
2. The Modeling Period. Between the ages of eight and thirteen, we copy people, often
our parents, but also other people. Rather than blind acceptance, we are trying on
things like suit of clothes, to see how they feel. We may be much impressed with
religion or our teachers. You may remember being particularly influenced by junior
school teachers who seemed so knowledgeable—maybe even more so than your
parents.
3. The Socialization Period. Between 13 and 21, we are very largely influenced by our
peers. As we develop as individuals and look for ways to get away from the earlier
programming, we naturally turn to people who seem more like us. Other influences at
these ages include the media, especially those parts which seem to resonate with the
values of our peer groups.

Retirement[edit]
He retired in 1995 from the consulting/speaking circuit and now lives with his
wife, Judith Ford Massey, in New Orleans, Louisiana. They have twin sons, Ryan
Massey and Blake Massey.
