Learning to love incremental change is great advice. The challenge that comes with that is being able to "sell" those changes. Big Bang changes have obvious benefits but the individual incremental states often don't justify the change by themselves. You have to become really good at selling the overall vision while also keeping people focused on the short term objectives. Holding the two in balance is a really tricky thing to do but, I think, represents the core value of a good architect: they are the navigators who can describe the destination but can also describe the next turn to take to get us there.
