What a professional training at a good B-School does to you, is that it imparts in you a sense of confidence and self-belief in your own abilities not just to do a job, but being able to handle the most adverse of situations. This is important because the business world offers you challenge beyond the helm of technical knowledge and there you need to have the belief in yourself that you'll find some solution.
The arrogance helps you to undermine the difficulties in your path and even a mediocre talent can finally make it, if he persists on the path putting in the hard work. The arrogance helps you in a lot of ways, it lets you stick to your ideas. If Edison had not been arrogant, we wouldn't have had electricity and if Mr. Sivaram Dugal had not been arrogant, we would not have had world class Clinical Research Institute in India. When you have firm belief in your idea, you need to be arrogant and stay firm on your stand.
Even the best of people with the best of ideas faltered in their paths and couldn't make it. But mediocrity mixed with persistence and perseverance leads you to success. The Rahul Dravids of the world will always be more successful than the Vinod Kamblis. This is what an MBA is all about, being able to work on projects, problems which don't have a perfect solution. The challenge is to persevere and arrive at different innovative solutions to that problem, then choose the best among these.
Decision making is all about your belief and self-confidence. Any decision could go wrong but it's best to be wrong for something you honestly believe in than for something which isn't something even you trust. It's also least likely do go wrong when you have put all your faith and knowledge to it. The greatest of the world's innovation have all been done with some sort of arrogance. An aberrance has always been looked upon with contempt. The mediocre men have made a lot of difference.
Someone who exemplifies this is our Father of our Nation Mahatma Gandhi. A man who was from among the mediocres, but yet with his arrogance shook the whole British Empire. This is what we must inculcate within ourselves. It's not just about the knowledge but the attitude.
"The arrogance of a man is a very profound thing, and it fortifies you."
