To change your current party leader, press ZL + L or R. This will change the currently active character you're using. This will also reflect itself in battle with you, manually controlling the character's movement and art usage.
Changing party leaders can only be done after reaching the near end of chapter 1! During the early parts of the game, you will not be able to change your party leader at all.
You can only add 1 Hero to your party but these heroes cannot be set as your current party leader. They'll only be able to work in your party as a supporting character with their own AI.
If your non-defender characters are drawing aggro, you may want to swap to your defenders and combo its arts. This will generate aggro to hopefully pull the monster's attention back to your defender.
If you find your healer not using heals, you can swap to them and use their heal arts manually to recover HP.
Another case for you to change your party leader to a healer is to revive a fallen ally. Most healers would always prioritize this but if you're in a dangerous situation where two members are down, manually choosing which member to revive first may benefit you in that fight.
