There are numerous internal and external challenges that impact the success of a team within the workplace. The internal processes within an organization develop and influence a team's performance. The role of a team leader is to align their team with the demands of the external business environment as well as to identify critical stakeholders outside of the organization. Similarly, team leaders evaluate the internal challenges as well as their impact on team performance.

• Discuss 1 internal and 1 external team challenge, and provide an example of each. Discuss from a team perspective how each style may impact the members of a team.

Review and consider the examples presented by your peers. One way to approach replying to your peers is to share your thoughts on two of you peers' responses, addressing the additional challenges that impact team performance. Another approach would be to expand on the discussion by providing your perspective through the introduction of an opposing or supporting challenge.
