Answer:

Violates unity of command

Step-by-step explanation:

Willard will be in violation of unity of command because he has two reporting lines. To the the project manager and his quality department manager.

The conflict will become evident when there is a conflict between the two job roles. Willard is obligated to report to both managers and working with one of the manager's may conflict with his duties with the other one.
