He is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Leslie's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.
Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Leslie Grantham himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.
He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Leslie Grantham is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.
On a personal level, Leslie Grantham is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Grantham probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Grantham's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Leslie Grantham as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Leslie does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.
Leslie Grantham is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Leslie Grantham is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Leslie Grantham needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Grantham's work or outside social activities.
At times Leslie Grantham comes across as being rather intense and possibly manipulative or controlling. Or he may get involved in relationships that are "fatal attractions", where he acts out compulsive, intense needs and desires. There is a sexual, seductive quality to Grantham's demeanor that others notice right away. This may either repel them or draw them to Leslie Grantham irresistibly.

Leslie Grantham needs to beware of fostering dependency in those people, however.
He is assertive and bold. Leslie Grantham is willing to be the first person to speak up and make his position known, and to strike out on his own if necessary. Leslie generally gets along better with men than with women because his approach is quite direct and sometimes tactless and insensitive as well. He can be a bit too forceful.
