If one has the ambition but not the wherewithal or personality to create an international ministry from scratch (Benson Phillips) one might be willing to tolerate and cover up for a guy like Philip Lee to appease his dad and gain control of the desired position. In other words without the prize of running LSM as a realistic outcome could Benson & Co really stomach the behavior and abuse of Philip Lee? Doubtful IMHO. They played daddy & son to get what they wanted!

While meeting in several localities I would hear the brothers who left was due to unfulfilled ambitions (among other reasons). I was told once by Bill Mallon, if he was ambitious he would have never left. (This stemmed from me asking Bill, about the claim I had heard for years. His leaving was due to unfulfilled ambition.) Interesting the full-time co-workers who remained and those who left had everything to lose; financial support.
