When you know how but can’t do it right now, provide options on who can.
When you know how and they will wait for you, provide options on when you’re next available.
When you don’t know how to do it at all, provide suggestions on the skill set required.
When you know how but it’s no longer what you want to do, explain, and say no.
When you know how but it doesn’t align with your values, just say no (you could explain, but it won’t really help any).
You get a better outcome for everyone when you know how.
