Although you do need some talent or working hard will just be making problems for everyone else, and all management will hear about is you being the cause of problems rather than a solution to them.

Actually I'd suggest people don't just accept all feedback - before taking any feedback on board review it and see how it holds up. There's a lot of people out there that will give negative feedback, not because it's true, but for other reasons (e.g. it makes them look better to an onlooker, it pushes blame for a failure away from their team and onto yours, they're just an a**ole).
