If I correctly understand your model:

var leader{i in PERSON}, binary;
/* leader[i] = 1 means that person i is a leader */

s.t. foo{i in PERSON}: leader[i] <= y[i];
/* person i cannot be a leader, if he is not hired */

s.t. bar: sum{i in PERSON} leader[i] = 1;
/* there must be exactly one leader */

maximize z: sum{i in PERSON} output[i]*(y[i] + leader[i]);
