I like many of the ideas I've read in this thread and would reiterate them, save for my laziness.

One suggestion, or at least a thought to put out there: be careful when talking to others about a desire to "move up." Depending on who your asking, how you ask it, and heck - what kind of day they're going through - it could be taken entirely the wrong way. One very safe way to talk to someone in a leadership position would be to do an informational interview with someone either in a different department/area, or even a different company. If you know someone outside of the company, invite them for some coffee, lunch or something, all with the understanding that you're looking for a little advice/information. They will probably be flattered and won't feel threatened. If someone within the company understands your position, then go within - since they'll understand things someone else might not.

The best managers I've had have been leaders who step up, but also encouraged my own growth. Seeing the strength and weaknesses in others is immensely beneficial and working with it and through it positively has always seemed like the right thing to do.

Oh, and if someone is suggesting that you do that - they probably see a lot of promise and you're probably doing things pretty right.
