"Outgoing" is not hyphenated. " "situation" should be plural. "Steady-handed" is wrong; it means without trembling hands.

"Outgoing" is not hyphenated.
A comma is required after "responsible person."
"situation" should be plural.
"Steady-handed" is wrong; it means without trembling hands. If you mean fair and just, use "even-handed."
The last sentence should read "She may achieve great things someday."

I change the sentence "She always deals with people and situation in a steady-handed way" as follows:
"She always deals with people and situations in gentle manner but firm in action." Is it acceptable?
"She always deals with people and situations in gentle manner but firm in action." Is it acceptable?

Not quite. Your construction needs to be parallel. "In a gentle manner" is prepositional phrase but "firm in action" is an adjective modified by a prepositional phrase. (Note that you'll need an article for "manner" when it's modified, here by "gentle" ). You may make them both adjectives in a prepositional phrase:
