Right‑Minded Teamwork ® (RMT) was not created in a classroom or a theory lab.
It grew out of real conversations with real teammates doing real work. Over decades of hands‑on facilitation, Dan listened, learned, and gradually shaped a practical system that helps teammates Do No Harm and Work As One ® — no “silly team‑building games,” just field‑tested tools that address the challenges teams face every day.
Who RMT Is For
Right‑Minded Teamwork provides a roadmap for every stage of a team’s journey:
- Newly Forming Teams: Establishing a solid foundation from Day 1
- Reforming Teams: Navigating the “revolving door” as teammates leave and join
- Good Teams Striving for Greatness: Moving from competence to consistent high performance
- Teams in Conflict: Addressing and resolving root‑cause dysfunctions
RMT was shaped by the needs of these teams — and it continues to serve them all.
A Career Devoted to Helping Teams Work Better Together
Dan began his career in 1980 and, in 1990, formed Lord & Hogan LLC, where the mission was simple: develop people and teams that work.
Over time, that mission became deeply personal. Dan became known for his ability to “hear confusion and bring clarity,” helping teams resolve interpersonal friction, rebuild trust, and get their work back on track.
Clients consistently saw the same results:
- Fewer day‑to‑day interpersonal issues
- Stronger working relationships
- Clearer roles and work processes
- Smoother project execution
- Teams achieving their goals — together
These outcomes weren’t accidental. They became the early building blocks of what would eventually become the Right‑Minded Teamwork system.
The Development of the Right‑Minded Teamwork ® Model
Across thousands of hours working alongside teams, Dan observed patterns, gathered insights, and gradually adapted what he learned into simple, repeatable practices. Over time, these field‑inspired methods formed the RMT 5‑Element Framework, a continuous improvement loop that works with teams of any size, in any industry.
RMT brings teammates together under shared goals, then offers practical tools to:
- Surface and resolve underlying concerns
- Address unproductive behaviors safely and respectfully
- Strengthen emotional maturity
- Build Work Agreements that guide daily behavior
- Create a team culture grounded in acceptance, forgiveness, and self‑adjustment
The result is a team that works as one — not through force or fear, but through shared commitment and right‑minded choices.
Books, Tools, and a Legacy of Practical Teamwork
Dan has documented the RMT philosophy and process in eight how‑to books, including:
- Right‑Minded Teamwork in Any Team: The Ultimate Team‑Building Method to Create a Team That Works As One
- Reason, Ego & the Right‑Minded Teamwork Myth (FREE Ebook on this website), which introduces the Do No Harm Work As One® philosophy and walks readers through the core concepts found in the seven‑book RMT process series.
These resources — along with a large library of free reusable team exercises — are now available to leaders and facilitators worldwide who want to bring RMT into their own teams.
A New Chapter, A Continuing Mission
Although Dan is retired from active facilitation, he remains committed to sharing the RMT philosophy with leaders and facilitators everywhere. On rare occasions, long‑time clients still manage to pull him briefly out of retirement — and when they do, he’s always ready to help a team Work As One ®.
Today, Dan continues to write, teach, and expand the RMT library so that these practical, field‑tested tools can support teams on every continent for generations to come.
