Yeah, I dont believe this. Maybe "favor those with the stomach for deep, solitary work, who can also easily context switch to meetings where they use their natural sales and political skills to get buy-in for what they are doing". There may be some rare environments where good deep workers are well supported by management and have someone else to interpret and "sell" what they've done, but it's a rarity. Even the best work needs to be well communicated, positioned within the context of what the org is doing, etc, which always favors collaboration and social skills
