Short YouTube talk by Ryan Deiss describing an exit strategy for CEOs called "Exit number two": build a true leadership team and install a scalable operating system so the CEO can genuinely step away. The speaker emphasizes that having the CEO title alone is insufficient without a solid leadership team and operating system.

Exit number two is when we exit the staff. This is when we build a true leadership team. A true leadership team that is running based on a scalable operating system that is built, installed, running. That is when you are truly a CEO. You might have the CEO title, but if you don't have a solid leadership team and if you don't have an operating system in place, you're kind of a CEO and title alone.
