I've been reading the book by former NFL coach, Tony Dungy, entitled "Quiet Strength". Tony was known as a coach who didn't scream on the sidelines or at his players. He quietly led, by example and by setting expectations.
His first head coaching position was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team at that time not known for winning. He later led the Indianapolis Colts to victory in the Super Bowl. During all those years he had one way of leading, he believed in it and stuck to it. In spite of criticisms, he maintained that his teams would:

Whatever it takes.
No excuses, no explanations.
Do what we do.“When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.” - Unknown

No excuses, no explanations.
“He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.” - Abraham Lincoln
“Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing” - Aristotle
