The Anglican Church does not have a single leader in the same way that the Roman Catholic Church has the Pope. Instead, it is composed of various national and regional churches, each led by its own bishops and archbishops. The Archbishop of Canterbury is considered the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, providing guidance and representing the unity of the church but does not hold authoritative power over individual provinces.
The leader of a diocese is a Bishop.However if the territory becomes larger and he is now in charge of more dioceses with more responsibilities,then he is an Archbishop.
Protestants as a whole do not have a leader - apart from Christ. Individual denominations may have their own leaders - such as the Anglican Archbishop , while others are independently organized.
The key differences between the Anglican Church and the Episcopal Church lie in their structure and governance. The Anglican Church is a global communion of churches with the Archbishop of Canterbury as its spiritual leader, while the Episcopal Church is the branch of the Anglican Communion in the United States. The Episcopal Church has its own governing structure and can make decisions independently of the wider Anglican Communion.

It is not a case of 'did' he do as he is still very much with us Thank God! The Church of England is split into two 'provinces' - of Canterbury and York. Other provinces of the worldwide Anglican Church include the Church in Wales, the Episcopaliand in the US and other churches in the Anglican communion throughout the world. The Rt Rev John Sentamu is the archbishop of the province of York and is spiritual leader of the York province of the Anglican Church. he is second in rank to the Archbishop of Canterbury. His 'job' is to lead the Church within the province, and to represent the Anglican Church worldwide in the absence of the Archbishop of Canterbury - in the same way as the Pope would do in the Roman Catholic Church. One should not be confused, however, between the term 'spiritual leader', 'supreme governor' and 'head' of the Anglican Church. John sentamu is the spiritual leader of the province of York, Rowan Williams is the Spiritual Leader of the Anglican Church, The Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church is always the reigning King or Queen - presently Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the Head of the Church is Jesus Christ.
The Archbishop of Canterbury (currently Rowan Williams) is the bishop f the diocese of Canterbury as well as the archbishop of the province of Canterbury (one of two provinces in England - the other being at York). He is also spiritual leader of the Church of England and spiritual leader of the whole of the Anglican Communion worldwide.
Anglican priests usually live in their own homes or, if the parish they serve has a parsonage, the priest and his family may choose to live there. The great majority of Anglican priests are married and live with their families. There are Anglican monasteries; however, the residents of a monastery are referred to as monks. A region of Anglican parishes is known as a Diocese and the head of a Diocese is called a Bishop. The head Bishop over all of the Anglican Bishops in a given country is called the Presiding Bishop and the head of all Anglicans, worldwide, is the Archbishop of Cantebury.
