When this happens, the option to change party leaders will become unlocked, and when it does, you will be able to change party leaders by visiting the main menu hub.

Doing so will move a flag icon up and down on the party member list, which represents the party's current leader.

After the party leader is changed, players can use them instead of the main character when exploring the game world.

However, they will still only control the main character in combat, and changing the party leader does not affect it.
