Manipulators don't last in the operating room

Certain characteristics of the operating room are not conductive to successful manipulation. Given these characteristics, individuals who relate to others in a manipulative style are less likely to be found the operating room, but instead will choose a setting where there is more opportunity to meet needs in a manipulative manner. Nevertheless, it is important for the manager to be aware of manipulative behavior and to respond appropriately when it does occur. A manager who can handle manipulation can ensure that manipulators do not last long in the operating room.
