Ruth — of systems & em dashes
“Architects mustn't be the smartest person in the room dictating to others. Their role is to help others make better decisions, for example by viewing problems from different perspectives, by better understanding trade-offs, or by considering additional options. That’s how architects are IQ amplifiers for the team: they make everyone else smarter.”

But so great that this dimension of the role is getting more emphasis:
“help others make better decisions, for example by viewing problems from different perspectives, by better understanding trade-offs, or by considering additional options.”
It takes investment of attention in sustaining understanding of *system context* (for various contexts, including strategic, but also ecosystems of use, operation, development) and *system* (as contexts for teams and technical context) at least.
