Career plateauing occurs when an individual experiences a decline or stagnation in their
career progression, leading to reduced motivation and engagement.

longer seek advancement but are happy maintaining their current position. They
often value job stability, routine, and work-life balance.

growth opportunities. They tend to show low levels of energy and engagement
and may not put in much effort since they believe advancement is no longer
possible.

and productive. They take pride in their work, seek mastery in their role, and
often contribute through mentorship or by taking on lateral responsibilities.
