It is often mistaken that unlikely feedback can cause lower self-esteem. If the feedback is taken as an opportunity to work on the weaker side and improve yourself, it will enhance your esteem and not lower it. In the workplace, negative feedback is something that many employees have to deal with on a regular basis. Feedback is something that is often essential to the development of a person or a company. A person with a high level of self-esteem is less likely to be negatively impacted by feedback than a person with a low level of self-worth.
