Figure 1
The horizontal axis is labeled “percentage”, and ranges from 0 to 100 in increments of 20 units. The vertical axis is grouped into three categories labeled “Interpersonal”, “Informational”, and “Decisional”. Under the “Interpersonal” category, the three bars from top to bottom are labeled “Figurehead”, “Leader”, and “Liaison”. Under the “Informational” category, the three bars from top to bottom are labeled “Monitor”, “Disseminator”, and “Spokesman”. Under the “Decisional” category, the four bars from top to bottom are labeled “Entrepreneur”, “Disturbance Handler”, “Resource Allocator”, and “Negotiator”. Each category contains multiple stacked horizontal bars that represent responses regarding the importance of specific physician leader roles. Each horizontal bar is divided into five colored segments, corresponding to levels of agreement. The color key at the bottom shows that light blue labeled 1 represents “Strongly disagree”, purple labeled 2 represents “Disagree”, pink labeled 3 represents “Neither agree nor disagree”, green labeled 4 represents “Agree”, and dark blue labeled 5 represents “Strongly agree”. The distribution of responses and calculated mean plus or minus standard deviation (S D) with rank for each role is mentioned on the left side of the graph. The data for the bars on the graph are as follows: Figurehead: Strongly disagree: 3.35 percent; Disagree: 24.85 percent; Neither agree nor disagree: 15.56 percent; Agree: 46.06 percent; Strongly agree: 10.18 percent.
