Our Leadership:
Principled. Inspirational. Aspirational. Attainable.
“Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flow charts. It is about one life influencing another.” – John Maxwell
At Benton House you will find leaders all over our organization, regardless of role. Leaders are not bound by title but measured on influence. And those called to lead in our organization understand the price to lead is a willingness to serve those they support. First and foremost, they must possess a strong desire to ethically and honestly respect, recognize and develop those team members in their care.
It’s this philosophy that has driven some of the highest tenure and satisfaction numbers in our industry. Executive Directors and Department leaders average over four year’s service. And satisfaction scores are above 90% across all major trust indexes.
