goes out of the way to do a good job, it is noted. It helps in satisfying the needs and demands
of customers as well as managers of the organisation. In the case of good feedback, I receive
praise which boosts my motivation making me perform best. Feedback helps in directing my
working behaviour as well as my performance to attain realistic goals. In the case of negative
performance, it shows that I am under performing and creates an opportunity to improve my
performance. The conditional positive feedback which I received helped me to continue
doing the good work. The negative feedback motivate me to eliminate the bad behaviour. I
take negative feedback as a constructive criticism which helps to strengthen the relationships
and perform the tasks better. It opens the blind spots which I cannot see in myself and take
appropriate steps to improve in the points I am lacking.
