So in other words, focus on hiring extroverts who are great at forming social networks.

    I mean, kind of. I wouldnt say extroverts, so much as "people with good/decent social skills". Introversion/extroversion is a sliding scale, not a dichotomy, and it refers more to your propensity to gain or lose energy from social interactions - not your ability to socialize.

    While many more introverted people find socializing more difficult in general, there is no reason why they can't develop the skill.

    Sure, but if someone is more introverted, then, even if they have amazing social skills, they will have a much harder time forming social networks with a lot of reach because it takes more energy for them to do so, whereas it is a lot easier for a more extroverted person to do this.
