Answer:

superior competence

Step-by-step explanation:

Superior competence is a skill an agent is expected to display in a resonable manner in any situation.

An agent is a person appointed by the principal and one who links the principal to the third party while principal is someone who appoints an agent to act on its behalf.

An agent is not superior to the principal. In other words, an agent is expected to act reseanably at all times in accordance with the terms of his contract with the principal.

Some of the duties of an agent to his principal are

- reasonable care and skill

-duty not to delegate

-avoid conflict of interest

-act within the scope of powers and authority delegated to him
