The most effective thing to say to someone who is hesitant about collaborating on a plan is:
“I hear that you don’t feel ready. Let’s talk about what you’re feeling so that we can be on the same page.”
This response acknowledges their feelings and encourages an open dialogue, which can help build trust and understanding.
