Synopsis

Using my life story of work and self-identity evolving over 4 decades lived across multiple countries and within numerous companies, I have developed a theory of diaspora and free-agency. Diaspora is established as a metaphor that illuminates the free-agent characteristics of globalization and work transformation. In moving the living theory toward actionable research, a set of 10 rules is developed to help postmodern knowledge workers navigate the evolving social contract between employers and employees. The following 3 rules particularly inform the mindsets of diasporic and free-agent lives:1. Movement requires an ability to locate and dis-locate; 2. One must re-invent oneself in new contexts in order to maintain alignment with changing environments; and3. One can retain self-identity – a sense of ancestral culture – while in the midst of re-invention.
