Is there more than one right way?

The other day I was offering a suggestion for a different way of doing something and a colleague’s response struck me. They asked,

“Did I do something wrong?”

I felt like this short statement came from years of existing in binary systems where there is only the right way or the wrong way of doing things. But that’s not real life. Sometimes it would be easier if it was. The reality, though, is that there is not really such a thing as doing something wrong, there’s just the way you did it with the resources and context you had at the time. If you’re committed to your task, your way will be the right way. Of course it’s easy to propose a different way, with the luxury of perspective or hindsight or experience. But ultimately, we are all doing our best and there is nothing wrong with that.

I’m curious to hear your take. Should I have told my colleague they were wrong?
