I just read Mythical Man Month, it talks about this in various parts. The idea being that the architect generally shouldn't worry as much about "How" now that you have to worry a lot more about "What" gets produced. And that determining "What" is generally harder. If you try to meddle too much in "How", your people will lose confidence. Likewise, if you let anything slip through "What" wise, you'll lose control. So it advocates being a (wise, considered) dictator when it comes to "What", and trusting the people around you to determine the most effective "How". Because you come from a coding background, your suggestions are believable and maybe even helpful, but they are nothing more than suggestions in the new role.
