You're probably an extrovert if you experience greater productivity from a whiteboard session than an email conversation. I used to do this, too; get the whole team together around a whiteboard and sketch a new thing out. Some of the team made very little contribution in the sessions; I always put this down to them not being very quick (they made good contributions later over email). When I took some management training later I learned that this style of collaboration doesn't suit everyone: the "quiet" folks were just extremely uncomfortable sharing their ideas in the public forum of the whiteboard session. Now I create a slack channel for this, and stretch the process out over a couple of days. I get more input and better ideas this way.
