How not to dispel the ‘ditherer’ tag

Thus:

Number 10 is talking about setting up a "rolling group of people who can quickly take decisions".

You can more or less tell what it’s supposed to mean (especially if you read the context that I’ve so irresponsibly left out), but the mental image of a group of people rolling down a hill in a bundle, barking out decisive orders, is irresistible.
