Seek First to Understand
•   In statistics, a Type I error is the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis. A Type II error
    is the failure to reject a false null hypothesis.[1] A type I error is a false positive. Usually a type I
    error leads one to conclude that a thing or relationship exists when really it doesn't: for
    example, that a patient has a disease being tested for when really the patient does not have
    the disease, or that a medical treatment cures a disease when really it doesn't. A type II error
    is a false negative. Examples of type II errors would be a blood test failing to detect the
    disease it was designed to detect, in a patient who really has the disease; or a clinical trial of
    a medical treatment failing to show that the treatment works when really it does.[2] When
    comparing two means, concluding the means were different when in reality they were not
    different would be a Type I error; concluding the means were not different when in reality
    they were different would be a Type II error.
• Type I and Type II errors are also called errors of the first kind and errors of the second kind.
• All statistical hypothesis tests have a probability of making type I and type II errors. For
    example, all blood tests for a disease will falsely detect the disease in some proportion of
    people who don't have it, and will fail to detect the disease in some proportion of people
    who do have it. A test's probability of making a type I error is denoted by α. A test's
    probability of making a type II error is denoted by β.
(from Wikipedia.)
Seek First To Understand
• The greatest desire of the human heart is to
  be understood.

• A need that is satisfied no longer drives us.
(quotes from Covey)

  your team?
