No, the point is if someone gains social power, someone else must lose that power. Sharing of power is fine in this framework - if you share power over the tribe, for example, then you don't have full power over the tribe. For one, you don't have the same kind of power over the individuals with whom you are sharing power.
You can gain social power that was previously held by natural randomness.
