Hi,

Greetings to you!

1. From Setup, click Object Manager, then click Lead.
2. Click Buttons, Links, and Actions, then New Button or Link.
3. Name the button.
4. Select List Button.
5. Content Source: Visualforce
6. Select your visualforce page. The visualforce page should use the object's standard controller. 
<apex:page standardController="Lead" recordSetVar="leads">
   <apex:form>
      <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Stage and Close Date" mode="edit">
         <apex:pageMessages />
         <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!leads}" var="opp">
            <apex:column value="{!opp.Name}"/>
            <apex:column headerValue="Email">
               <apex:inputField value="{!opp.Email}"/>
            </apex:column>
            <apex:column headerValue="Phone">
               <apex:inputField value="{!opp.Phone}"/>
            </apex:column>
         </apex:pageBlockTable>
      </apex:pageBlock>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>
7. Add button to the layout:
Stay in the Lead object, click Search Layouts for Salesforce classic menu, then select Edit under ListView.
Add your button to the "Selected Buttons".
Save.

@Khan Anas or anybody who can help- All examples that I have seen so far show how to add a custom button/action on Leads List View. I am looking for a way to launch a flow from a custom buttom/action from Account List View?

The Flow is to create account and related contact records and it needs to happen only through a flow, as the customer wants point and click customization.

User-added image

So far, I have only been able to launch the flow from within a record- by adding the action on the account page layout. However, my requirement is to launch the flow from the Account List View itself and not requiring the user to first have to select any other record. I have also tried creating a VF page to launch the flow from.

The issue that I am running into is

1- I do NOT see 'List View' as an option when I navigate to 'Search Layouts' on the Account Object and the 'Default Layout' does not have the custom button that I created

2- I do see 'List View' listed when I navigate TO 'Search Layouts for Salesforce Classic' on the Account Object, however, the button to launch flow still does not show up under custom buttons and the only buttons that show up are related to either creating/updating a record

Direction on how to proceed ahead is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

If you want to create new button for custom object you can look at my examples. 
<apex:page standardController="Email_Log__c" extensions="ResendAllFailedEmails" recordSetVar="sobjects">
<h1>Congratulations</h1>
This is your new Page
</apex:page>
  
public  class ResendAllFailedEmails {
    public ResendAllFailedEmails(ApexPages.StandardSetController controller) {

    }
}

After this steps the VF page started showing in the content section when creating the new custom button.
