Administrative opportunities within academia tend to come as a result of being recognized for organization, fairness, reliability, rationality, professional stature, etc., and one is typically “tapped” for the position. Occasionally an opening will arise within a department or school for an assistant dean, and faculty members can certainly apply, but chances are the dean already knows who he wants and why. Typically an emerging dean will have served as chair of his department (performance area) and will have some visibility in all campus committee work. So, if this is a goal, keep your reputation for all of these things intact and constant. Good luck.
