I Recently read a biography of Churchhill and he was an interesting combination of humility and arrogance.
His success at leading England during the Second World War largely rested on learning from his numerous past failures. He knew enough at that point to surround himself with people who would stand up to him when he was wrong.
If you look into all the “great” leaders - folks you mentioned - you’ll find plenty of instances where their arrogance led them astray.
Arrogance in and of itself is not what enabled those folks to facilitate great or important work.
Lastly, nobody does it alone.
