By 'leader' do you mean the person who runs the Party's actual national committee? If so, those people are elected by the delegates.

But perhaps you mean 'leader' in the sense that Trump is the current leader of the GOP and Biden is the current leader of the Democrats? Generally, if you're a party with the White House under your control, the President is in control of the Party. That control is limited, but MOST members will fall in line behind the President's agenda when push comes to shove. The Democrats are better at sticking together like that than the GOP which tends to have more variation in ideology.

But when the party lacks control of the White House, who that leader is comes down to charisma and influence and fundraising. Trump is no longer President, but still controls the GOP. In fact, his control over them seems STRONGER after his loss. Trump has a strong charismatic connection to rank and file GOP voters and so the elected GOP officials in the minority have to kowtow to him. You can see this at play in the Liz Cheney situation where a congresswoman with a VERY conservative voting record was voted out of leadership for speaking the truth about the lack of fraud in the election. Trump didn't like that message and wanted her out. And now she's out.

You can also look at the Democrats during the Trump era when they lacked control of the White House. Nancy Pelosi held the highest office among elected Democrats and was SORT OF the Party leader. She's not very charismatic though. How does she do it? Fundraising! Pelosi's district is VERY wealthy and she RAKES IN CASH for her fellow Democrats. And she doles it out based on loyalty. So elected Democrats who WANT that cash do what she says.

Well, we usually vote. But if they are like treasurer or secretary, the president has an administrator to look for people qualified for the job.
