Well, we can't say "problems", but Indeed "Big Challenges", the main one is how to focus on each member, to give them feelings that I am not ignoring him/her.

working with slow team members who do not meet the deadline and give poor resuts not quality as required
Getting competing members of the team to rise above their rivalry and live up to the challenges facing the team as a whole can sometimes be a real challenge.
As a team leader, how much ever you try, you CANNOT please your immediate ascendings and decsendings on your organizational chart at the same time.
If you chose to please your subordinates, you will automatically fail to please your Supervisor and vice versa. There can never be a balance between the two unless everyone's on the same page which becomes rarely practical

100% employee utilization without overloading individuals.
Developing a good skill set to achieve target on time without having team member reassigned or fired.
In short, my challenge is always human resource management to keep project team100% engaged at100% of time.
All of them! Keeping motivated, motivating others, dealing with a bad boss, bad organization, unfair situations, you name it. Hang around long enough you'll see almost everything. On the other hand, you see a lot of good, and can do a lot of good too.
One and important thing is to keep right direction only.
I am listing the top ten challenges faced by the Team Leader which has to be overcome in order to achieve Success.
Challenge1: Being Clear About What You Want To Achieve
A lot of people talk about mission statements and the importance of having a clear vision. In reality getting crystal clear about what you want to achieve is really tough and yet without clarity it is difficult to brief others.
Challenge2: Getting The Buy-In Of People
Unless you have followers you are not a leader and not leading a team. Winning hearts and minds is tough, especially when proposing something different. Being able to step into others shoes is a major benefit.
Challenge3: Responding To Different Agendas
Different people want different things from their work, their employer and boss. Responding to these different demands and agendas is tough.
Challenge4: Handling Resistance
Resistance will come up whatever you try to do. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to in order to hold on to things, even those things that they don’t like when they face uncertainty.
Challenge5: Keeping People Engaged
Many studies have identified that as few as20% of people are actively engaged in the organisational agenda. Disengagement hurts organisations in terms of productivity, customer satisfaction and profits so don’t underestimate the importance of keeping people engaged.
Challenge6: Handling Negativity
Some people are said to be glass half full people while others are glass half empty. In those situations where the glass half full dominate they can drag down even the most optimistic team members.
Challenge7: Impatience
We all to some extent want quick results and the reality is that anything significant takes time to achieve.
Challenge8: Remaining Positive Personally
You are a human being not a robot. In the face of a tidal wave of despondency it can be really tough to stay positive.
Challenge9: Getting The Balance Right
There is a fine line between pushing people to hard and being a soft touch and it is tough to get it right.
Challenge10: The High Jump Factor
When you achieve anything just like in the high jump the bar is raised to another level. As a consequence you are under constant pressure to continually raise the game of your team and yourself.
The Bottom Line: Leading a team can look really easy from the outside looking in. The reality is often very different.
