James Tackaberry McCay: A Business Visionary
James Tackaberry McCay was a Montreal-based executive development consultant and business visionary whose influence reached corporations across Canada and the United States.
He acted as counsel on organization growth and executive development to corporations in both Canada and the United States, drawing on psychology, philosophy, socio-economics, and the emerging sciences of human potential.
“We are at the threshold of major jumps in human performance. These jumps will be achieved by individuals working together as responsible social and technological innovators. They will be the individuals who are beyond motivation.”
— James T. McCay, Beyond Motivation
He was, in every sense, a man ahead of his time.
The Management of Time
McCay’s first major work, The Management of Time, was first published in 1959 and went on to be read by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
Drawing on psychology, spiritualism, and physics, it remains a timeless guide to productivity, creative thinking, and coping with rapid change.
Republished in 1995
In 1995, Prentice-Hall republished the book in a new edition — with an Introduction and Appreciation co-authored by Richard E. Ward.
Beyond Motivation
When Bell-Northern Research in Canada published McCay’s ideas in their communications series in 1970, the response from managers and planners in industry, commerce, and government was overwhelming — giving rise to Beyond Motivation.
Where The Management of Time focused on the individual, Beyond Motivation turns to the group, weaving together general semantics, integral development, synergy, shared consciousness, and social innovation.
Expanded eBook Edition in 2015
In 2015, Richard E. Ward republished the book as an Expanded eBook Edition — adding an overview of The Management of Time, biographies of the 42 authors McCay referenced, synopses of the 43 publications he cited, an index, and extensive hyperlinking throughout.
