He is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue.

He often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Dean has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Dean Winters very much wants to be liked and because of his need for approval and acceptance, Winters is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. He so much wants to please that often Dean Winters will suppress his own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others.
