Being difficult to work with is not a good thing, though, and has to be balanced with something else. Fergie took his time to get things his own way...he could only back up the arrogance, when he was winning. Times have changed, I know.....but managers have to show the necessary steel to lead.....that doesn't change, in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, arrogance is a character flaw - it's not the reason people win trophies or achieve success and if anything, it's more a barrier to those things.

Although arrogance has many draw backs and could be considered a flaw, it is alson present in many people who succeed or are successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was you who mentioned arrogance initially and backing it up with success, as more acceptable, not me, I just responded to your point......... I agree, not an endearing trait, or an attribute of discern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
