Boundary Spanning Challenge

This week you will be asked to identify a personal boundary spanning challenge. For this post you are asked to consider the practices of buffering and reflecting. From Chapter 4 in your text, choose one of the five buffering tactics: separate groups, reduce threat from external influences, make boundaries visible for others, create a unifying team identity, or build team cohesion. Choose one tactic that you would apply to your boundary spanning challenge, share your understanding of how this would be applied, and provide your desired outcome. Provide the same analysis for reflecting tactics from Chapter 5 to the same boundary spanning challenge. Describe a reflection tactic that you would apply to your challenge. Why have you chosen this tactic? Describe who you would involve in this exercise and how that would look. Utilize two scholarly sources to anchor your analysis in the research
