Stagnation

Stagnation refers to a period where growth, progress, or improvement slows down or stops altogether. It can occur in various contexts such as an economy, a business, or personal development. During stagnation, there’s little to no increase in productivity, income, or success, which can lead to frustration or a feeling of being stuck. For example, an economy experiencing stagnation might see little change in employment rates or gross domestic product over time. It indicates a standstill where efforts to advance aren't resulting in meaningful change, often prompting the need for strategic adjustments to reignite growth.
