Dr. Davis argues that without trust, aligned leadership, and a solid foundation, wellness programs fail to make a real impact. The article calls for addressing root issues like poor leadership, fragmented communication, and broken values before introducing wellness efforts. She offers practical solutions, including leadership audits, safe feedback loops, departmental restructuring, coaching, and rebuilding culture from within.
