Apostates are people who renounce a principle but stay in the organization and publicly dissent. If you are a dissenter, apostate, or not a cultural fit, fire yourself and find somewhere you will be happier. Cultural change causes 5 to 33 percent of people to actively fight the change and dig in like Alabama ticks. Zappos offers employees money to quit after a certain term to make the decision easier if they are not a cultural fit.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Apostates dig in: people who publicly dissent but stay in organization, infect teams like ticks transmit disease
• Growth versus fixed mindset: intelligence is dynamic and always improving versus intelligence is static and unchanging
• Inherent worth versus workplace value: you have worth but may not be adding value if wrong mindset or cultural fit
• Above-the-line principles: accountability, respect for others, act now, ask what else can I do, personal ownership, reject average
• Fire yourself: if not willing to commit to above-the-line principles, find organization that tolerates your behavior

If you stay at a company and you have a fixed mindset or you are an apostate or a dissenter or not a cultural fit you are being selfish and thinking only of money and security.
