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. Even if he strongly disagrees with someone, William Powell will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. He often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. William has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. William Powell very much wants to be liked and because of his need for approval and acceptance, Powell is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. He so much wants to please that often William Powell will suppress his own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others.

He possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner.
