About
Jan De Lange

Jan De Lange has spent his life leading — first in the secular world, then for Jesus. He spent over twenty-five years serving on Multinational Boards, building and running an international business, sitting in boardrooms and on governance boards, learning what it takes to lead people and organisations well. Then Jesus called him somewhere else. Jan has spent the last decade in full-time ministry — as Executive Pastor, church planter, Elder, and ministry leader — walking closely with churches, leaders, and the people entrusted to his care. He now serves as National Advisor for a church movement in New Zealand, helping churches, charities, and camps navigate governance and leadership well. Jan is passionate about Christian Leadership, and how to serve God well in our churches, trusts and workspaces. Across both worlds, one conviction has only grown stronger: leadership that lasts is never just about competence. It is about who you are becoming, and who sits at the centre of your life. For Jan, that place belongs to Jesus — and it is out of that conviction, tested in boardrooms and church halls alike, that this book was written.
