I think it is less about them not being good, but losing the motivation. It could also be that during that 5-7 year mark, they are in a position that doesn't advance quickly, or is waiting for someone else to vacate above - that can affect motivation too. Not sure what the actual cause is, but it is probably different for different people. Maybe it is related to the "7 year itch" issue.

I can understand that because at one point a few of us were held back because we did the managers job and it made him look good. He did admit this to a few of us which is not a great motivator. I have always believed that everyone should prove themselves and give it their all even if it means 7 years. One has to develop during that time so work is not necessarily to blame for not progressing. Waiting for someone to retire must be the worst type of hold up though.
