I have a column named LEADER in 16 tables in my sql database I'd like to join all the tables to show the Leader column and the table it belongs to in datagridview.

What I have tried:

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select GroupLeaders.ID,Account.Leader, Engineers.Leader from GroupLeaders inner join Account on GroupLeaders.id = Account.Leader", conn);

Why does it sound like you have 16 tables with essentially the same data in all of them? This sounds like a very badly designed database.

Try something like this:

SQL

SELECT a.LEADER AS [A Leader]
      ,b.LEADER AS [B Leader]
      ,c.LEADER AS [C Leader]
FROM TableA a
JOIN TableB b ON a.ID = b.ID
JOIN TableC c ON a.ID = c.ID
