I think for super entry-level or for very high-level, something like this is appropriate. Established, successful CEO's usually have a long, planned succession plan. I left a company like this once -- told my boss who should be promoted to replace me and spent time with them to make sure they could do the job. Didn't just do it and then leave though, so not really the same. The idea of planning a succession is a good one, but not just on your own.
