Gracious Professionalism is being willing to spend all day away from your own pit helping someone else, but also being willing and able to step out of their way when you become unable to help anymore, one once they have their focus and fixes down.

All around, GP is being willing to be useful wherever you're needed, and with whatever you have.
Or giving up your only spare, then when you need that part later, instead of requesting it back, you check around to see if other teams have one. This is one example of something that would definitely never happen anywhere else.
