Add tree view to your xml file, and you can add more fields in this according to requirement,

<record id="view_lead_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">bala.lead</field>
        <field name="model">bala.lead</field>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <tree string="Leads">
                <field name="contact_name"/>
                <field name="lead_source"/>
                <field name="lead_status"/>
            </tree>
        </field>
</record>

update your act_window

<record id="new_lead" model="ir.actions.act_window">
    <field name="name">Lead</field>
    <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
    <field name="res_model">bala.lead</field>
    <field name="view_type">form</field>
    <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
    <field name="view_id" ref="view_lead_tree"/>
</record>

Hope this will help you.
