There are many leaders within the Buddhist traditions. There are three major branches of Buddhism: Mahayana, Therevada and Vajrayana. From these three major divisions there are many schools. The schools each have lineage holders, revered teachers and most monasteries or temples have abbots. For example, within Vajrayana lies Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism consists of several lineages, Nyigma, Gelug, Sakya, and Kagyu. The Ganden Tripa is the spiritual head of the Gelugpa and His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the temporal head (a position with more political power).
