Best is pretty much impossible to claim without being omniscient I guess so it has to be within one's perspective/knowledge no matter what. True about the use of scientific management.

Those are darn good practices and great places to start from and they could be very helpful. I would like to see best practices reserved for practices that have more scientific validation or we are just re-inventing the Hawthorne effect all over again with new lingo. By the way, I am not say scientific management is the answer I just get peeved when people use the term when they may have better practices but they are not the best. David Mike:

For me best practices come from people with a lot of experience and expertise with proven excellence. That combined with consensus from that group of excellent people and voila, I have a set of best practices based on what they do, say and teach. After all, you've got to base best practices on something, and the collective wisdom and group consensus is a very powerful determiner. Of course you could question that as well...
