It is important to approach the subject in a compassionate and understanding manner. Acknowledge their feelings of worthlessness, let them know that you respect them and value their opinion, and explain why what you are asking of them is beneficial for both of you. Aim to build up their self-esteem while still making it clear that compliance with your request would be ideal. For example, instead of saying "You're nothing without me," try something like "I recognize your worth and appreciate all that you do."

You can't approach the subject in a way that causes emotional distress and feelings of worthlessness; that is unethical. It is better to use positive reinforcement to encourage people to do what you want. For example, offering incentives for completing tasks or providing verbal affirmation for small successes can help motivate people.
