Every team has one now, and they are rarely the person you would expect.
They are good at their job, often the best on the team at the part that matters. They sat politely through the AI training, closed the tab afterwards, and went back to doing the work the way that has always worked. When someone mentions the tool in the stand-up, they go quiet and look faintly tired, like someone who has been asked to admire a colleague's holiday photos for the third time.
Meanwhile you have been asked to "drive adoption," a phrase that has never once caused anyone to adopt anything.
I'd resist treating this person as a problem, and I feel fairly strongly about it. The holdout is usually holding out for a reason, and it is often a reason you would respect if you heard it said plainly. Your job this week is to hear it. Everything useful follows from that one conversation, and everything that goes wrong with holdouts starts from skipping it.
