This is the actual definition of it.
And it means the only time arrogance serves well is when being unpleasant & up yourself, works in your favour.
I have never come across a moment in my professional career where I have found arrogance to be useful.
It costs you every time you employ it.
But there are times when the benefit of being arrogant outweighs the damage it does.

This is the actual definition of it.
And it means the only time arrogance serves well is when being unpleasant & up yourself, works in your favour.
If you're a leader or in a position of influence, its very easy for your pleasantness to be mistaken for availability,
in which everyone would flock to abuse it with no regard or respect.
So it makes sense to be unpleasant around those you don't want to waste time around.
It also makes others work hard to get your recognition & availability.
Arrogance insulates you from those who seek clout & extract value off you. Its a useful tool to employ to preserve your time.
But even then, you risk repelling people of value.
There are moments where circumstances demand swift decision making & action. People under pressure or a threat, often freeze & become indecisive out of fear.
Arrogance will tilt power to you by eradicating resistance.
It is also a trait that projects confrontation.
This combo makes arrogance very effective when those inferior to you cluelessly resist your leadership.
There's ALWAYS damage that accommodates arrogance.
The permissible reasons discussed above simply maximises the benefits.
