The single bloodiest day in American military history, the Battle of Antietam, serves as an exemplary model for evaluating and analyzing a multitude of leadership practices and characteristics that can be directly applied to the leadership acumen needed for today’s business environment.

On September 16, 1862, the Union Army of the Potomac confronted the Army of Northern Virginia at Sharpsburg, Maryland. At dawn on September 17, the Union forces mounted a powerful assault on the Confederate left flank and began the Battle of Antietam. Over the course of that day and into the following day, 87,000 Union troops and 45,000 Confederate troops waged vicious warfare. The Battle of Antietam was marked by heroic attacks, counterattacks, and leadership decisions that were of both short-term and long-term consequence.
