The most suitable person would be Joe.

Explanation:

Those who seek power are more likely to abuse it and may not be too open to receive feedback.

On the contrary, Joe and his search for success and achievement, not only benefit him but also those around him. He is more likely to take his new position with great seriousness and concentration than the other employees.
