Leadership, transformation and future in academic culture and excellence

How to answer this question when you were asked about bringing your academic department towards excellence? How many academic staff do you have in your department? How many professors? How many functional Professors? How many leading professors? How many seniour academic staff? How many young staff, less than 10 years, less than 5 years? How many staff you will have in your department in next three to five years? How many post graduate students are expected in three to five years? How can you bring up research in your department? Do you have research or academic culture in your department? Can you get the support from department's staff to transform into new culture? What will be the focus areas in your department and do you have enough support? How can you help the university to achieve the target in term of quality undergraduates, teaching quality, research, post graduates, number of publications, research grants, international, industrial and community networking?

Look like not that easy to lead, change, transform, out of comfort and create followers in academic. Anyway better facing challenge rather than stagnant.
