While Bosses and Execs through tantrums are another class altogether - I can suggest a way or two to put a Team Lead/Architect in place when they throw a tantrum (NOTE: this only works if you actually know your shit and are correct):

- Shout back and stare down. Match such a person eye-to-eye. But don't take the heat personally. Simply play-back the game.

- Never-ever (NEVER EVER!!) let anybody (ANYBODY!!) shape your career.

- Rebuff the Lead/Architect: Tell him/her that this immature behavior will not be tolerated and if this continues, you will take your own direction and won't require his/her services as your lead.

However, sometimes ahole Lead/Architect are too powerful/influential and can actually impact your career. In such cases, don't waste time and apply elsewhere.
