凯蒂·布罗德（Katy Broder） - 从道场到办公室

Broder, division president for Geosystems’ Construction Tools and Value Brands, draws a distinct parallel between her karate training and the corporate environment. What she has learned in 20+ years of competing, refereering and teaching karate translates well into her executive leadership position.

“Karate builds not only self-confidence but also self-awareness. You gain a deep understanding of how you interact with others,” said Broder. “As you progress in your skills as a competitor to a teacher, you also grow as an individual and earn the trust of your students to be responsible for their wellbeing. This has translated well into my role as a division president and helping my team move forward.”

作为Vaduz的Shotokan空手道俱乐部的创始人，布罗德（Liechtenstein），布罗德（Broder）每年教授100多名学生和裁判。尽管她不再积极竞争，但她继续学习老师和裁判的角色。

“空手道就像生活；您永远不会停止学习。你总是成长的。”布罗德说。“就像领导力一样，进行回顾要求您快速做出决定并控制局势。您完全像领导者一样完全处于这个位置，因为每个人都在看着您并取决于您的判断。这帮助我建立了自信并站在决定的背后。”

战斗到顶部

Much as she advanced from a white to black belt in karate, Broder moved up the corporate ranks. Starting in administrative positions in the finance and human resources field, Broder advanced through logistics to product and project management and finally to where she is today. Joining Leica Geosystems in 2011 Broder took on her first leadership role as a programme manager overseeing a small team. In this role and subsequent leadership positions, she developed a style that gave notice to the executive team.

“凯蒂（Katy）对团队的期望一直非常平易近人和清晰，” Hexagon Geosystems总裁Juergen Dold说。亚搏苹果app“由于她一直证明自己有能力将团队朝着共同的目标迈进，因此她是监督建筑工具和价值品牌的新方向的自然选择。”

Challenge accepted

Tasked with building the profile of Construction Tools and Value Brands, Broder is working to refocus her team on complete solutions. Since taking her position as division president in late 2016, Broder has brought increased research and development into software and new partnerships.

“I brought a wealth of knowledge of this industry with me to the position, and I know there is a lot of potential here for our company,” said Broder. “I’m bringing my team together; challenging them and having them challenge me to find our niche in the market. We’re already seeing growth and new brand recognition here, so we’re on a great track for success.”

As Broder continues to face and overcome challenges, she recommends to others looking to break through to deliver on the job.

“这全都与表演有关。专注于事实并带来结果。”她说。“如果您是真实的并创造自己的空间，您的努力将得到认可，而成长的机会将成为您的努力。”
