You say, "But I challenge you to find something in any of that which is concrete enough to be actionable."
So, you might have missed this part: Of those Google teams, the ones that adopted a new group norm -- like kicking off every team meeting by sharing a risk taken in the previous week -- improved 6% on psychological safety ratings and 10% on structure and clarity ratings. Teams said that having a framework around team effectiveness and a forcing function to talk about these dynamics was missing previously and by far the most impactful part of the experience."
So ... simply taking 5 minutes to talk about the risks taken in the previous week can help develop the environment. Of course it needs to be a positive discussion. Start it with the premise of: "how did we stretch our bounds last week even if it didn't work out?" rather than "what did we screw up this past week?"

And further, improving on those metrics does exactly what for the team? For the company? For the individuals? What we know so far is that improving on that score does nothing but improve on that score.
