11. Competent : Good Networker
Everyone know them and knows that they know what theyre talking about.
Rarest combination. Highly valuable people.

Everyone knows that theyre full of sh*t
An unfortunately common combination. And the worst one. Its irrecoverable.
31. Competent : Bad Networker
Anyone who does know them knows that they know what theyre talking about
A common positioning for ex-engineers. Can be fixed by learning to network..
41. Incompetent : Bad Networker
No-one knows that theyre full of sh*t.
This position is quite rare, but its recoverable.
