It's hard to really label a "leader" of the flood; the flood seems to be kind of like a cloud computing network, where a Gravemind can serve as a central organizational hub. When conversing with others, he seems to be a personification of the flood as a whole.
The Library in Halo 1 kind of represents this IMO. Individual flood completely lack tactics, but as a whole, the flood creeping about the facility are intelligent group-by-group in how they ambush you (ie en masse when 343GS locks you between two doors). The bigger the group, the more intelligence available. When a lot of flood are out and about, they might build a brain flood to centrally manage everything. A large brain flood is the physical thing we know as a gravemind, though the gravemind itself is the hive mind as a whole.
...or something.
