  "title": "Rotate ownership where complexity benefits from shared leadership",
  "summary": "Leadership can move with the expertise while accountability stays explicit.",
  "kind": "principle",
  "body": "Let the person with the best local expertise lead the relevant analysis, coordination or review, while preserving the formal decision owner and integration point.",
  "limits": [
    "Autonomy must be bounded by competence, risk, compliance and recoverability. High-consequence decisions may need explicit approval gates."

    {
      "claim": "A meta-analysis of 42 independent samples found a positive relationship between shared leadership and team effectiveness, with stronger relations in more complex work.",
      "source_id": "RS-AA8B9C9C05AB892C",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "Shared leadership complements rather than automatically replaces formal accountability and may work differently across team designs.",

  ],
  "use_when": [
    "When a complex team has several domains of expertise but all leadership behavior flows through one formal lead."
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "Autonomy must be bounded by competence, risk, compliance and recoverability. High-consequence decisions may need explicit approval gates."
  ],
  "example": "The security specialist leads the threat review, the business lead leads process acceptance, and the program lead integrates the decision.",
  "check": "Leadership behavior follows expertise without making accountability ambiguous.",
