Outgoing is an adjective, so it does not take 'a'; use with for the people he deals with.

'Outgoing' विशेषण है, इसलिए इसके साथ 'a' नहीं आता; लोगों के साथ व्यवहार के लिए 'with' आता है।

✗ The ingoing president gave a speech.

✓ The incoming president gave a speech.

The opposite of outgoing is incoming; ingoing is not used for people.

'Outgoing' का विलोम 'incoming' है; व्यक्तियों के लिए 'ingoing' का प्रयोग नहीं होता।

✗ She is very outgoing person.

✓ She is a very outgoing person.

A singular noun after an adjective still needs 'a'.
