Behind The 10 Ten-Minute Rules lies more than a book, it’s a philosophy. A set of timeless, actionable principles that have been shaped, tested, and proven over 30 years of board-level leadership, team development, and human performance.
Kevin Mark-Watts developed the Ten-Minute Rules as a practical framework for business leaders who want to drive change without chaos. Each rule is designed to create immediate impact, small, structured shifts that build momentum, improve communication, and align people behind a shared purpose.
Whether you’re running a growing SME, leading a department, or mentoring your team, these rules help you build a workplace culture where efficiency, trust, and accountability thrive.

Beyond The Book
The 10 Ten-Minute Rules go far beyond what’s written on the page. They’re now being implemented by teams across the UK through Kevin’s mentoring, workshops, and leadership programmes, all built around one central belief:
“Better business starts with better conversations.”
Through his consultancy and non-executive roles, Kevin helps organisations embed these principles into their everyday rhythm, from the boardroom to the frontline. His approach isn’t theoretical; it’s grounded in decades of lived experience across retail, sport, and entrepreneurship.
He works with leaders to translate the rules into practical daily actions: how to organise teams, build effective communication channels, manage performance, and create environments where people take ownership of both results and relationships.
Why These Rules Work
1
Because we use self analysis tools from the world of sport and the highest performing teams.
2
We're adopting self reflection tools to drive better actions and outcomes.
3
Because we focus on what actually drives human behaviour in the workplace, we deliver lasting results.
The 10 Ten-Minute Rules combine the science of performance with the art of leadership. They help you bridge the gap between data and emotion, structure and culture, process and people.
These are not abstract theories, they’re lessons learned on the ground, distilled into ten principles you can apply immediately.
