However one of the most apparent character traits Harvey showed his viewers throughout the show was his response to problems and action taking.

While he technically got paid to deal with problems and solve them he did it with finesse and made sure to make it a point to influence those around him. Harvey believed in leading by example, never blaming anyone else.
