What value a good project Manager brings to the table ?? and what are the pros and cons for having a too arrogant but really good Manager Saving Changes...
Adding value will occur through organizational agility. Project management is creating value by delivering results and outcomes through people.
I only have cons for this behavior. Any overused strength like overconfidence or arrogance is seen as a weakness. It's better to be confident and calm than arrogant and self important. Confidence is internal and arrogance is external. Saving Changes...

With all my due respect, there is a big mistake in your statement Mudassar. Words like "good" has lot of ambiguity because they are subjective matter that you have to transform into objective ones. And in case of discipines like project management they must be analyzed into a context. Saving Changes...

While I agree with Sergio re objective measurements I think it is fairly safe to assume the 'good' in this context is meant to mean a PM who can deliver a successful project. Again 'successful' is subjective so lets assume this to mean adding value within the triple constraint. And this is exactly the value a good PM brings to the table - the ability not only to execute a project within time, cost and scope but doing so by ensuring that the end result adds or increases value in the stakeholder business process/es.

Check out this article for some advise adding value as a PM:
It is important, I think, to be a servant leader today in project management. In an environment where a PM may not be (and often isn't) the subject matter expert, arrogance will get in the way of the success of the team. Enable them to do their best work and it will take the team far. Hope this helps! Saving Changes...
