A possible theory could be that maybe the A team works like a government, the British Westminster model to be particular. Maybe the leader of the A team is like the head of state and controls everything, and he/she appoints someone to be A (formerly Mona, currently unknown). In theory, A acts directly on the behalf of the leader, and submits directly to the leader, but in practice, A pretty much does everything and the leader simply approves and appoints who A is. A is kind of like the head of the executive branch/Prime Minister. So the leader appoints a member from the A team to be A. The leader does not tell A exactly what to do, but simply watches over them and approves of what he or she does. At times, the leader will also get involved with the A business, when it comes to extreme situations (maybe the leader was the one who organized Ian’s, Garret’s death, the leader started the A team first, the leader planned things like steal Alison’s body). People like Toby (and others) work as A’s helpers and help A plan out everything (kind of like cabinet ministers), incase A needs help in doing something (killing Ian, giving Emily the massage).
