a people person

Someone who is particularly gregarious, affable, or outgoing; someone with great interpersonal communication skills. The new manager is a real people person, there's no doubting that; I just hope his management skills are up to snuff as well. My late grandfather was such a people person. Whenever he was in the room, everyone was all smiles. I just can't see Grace working as a receptionist—she's never struck me as a people person.
