Somehow I didn't interpret that as a judgment. After reading your post, Mike, I was reminded of the year, 1968. I wanted rose colored glasses. Literally. I found a tiny little shop down by the St. Louis Zoo <grin, I love that zoo> that would fit me with rose colored lens. It didn't change my view of the world nearly as much as I had hoped but it did give others a perspective with which to view me.
Gracious Professionalism has become a lens that I do look through when working with others and when viewing the world. To me it is a lens of wisdom not judgment. I do agree with you that GP isn't a phrase to be used as a tool to judge others, and that at its best, Gracious Professionalism can be viewed as a way of life.
