The complete four sentences are: "Kindness does not command soldiers, love does not do things, righteousness does not manage money, and goodness does not serve officials." Too kind people can't lead troops, too emotional people can't achieve great things, too loyal people can't manage money, and too kind people can't be officials. Therefore, all these require people to overcome their "desires", be rational and respect objective laws.

"Benevolence does not lead troops", "Benevolence does not serve officials" and "Benevolence does not engage in politics" are also applicable to modern enterprise management or governing the country, with similar results. It doesn't mean that those who are handsome and those who are politicians and officials are unkind, but it depends on the specific situation of different occasions.

"kindness does not lead troops, and family does not do things", which is a famous saying of the ancients.

As the saying goes, keep an army for a thousand days and use it for a while. At this moment, the commander-in-chief must have the iron will and determination as the commander-in-chief, and must never destroy the overall situation because of his weakness. In fact, it is not only a method of controlling soldiers, but also employing people. The so-called shopping malls are like battlefields, and these general military principles are also fully applicable to the practices of other generals.
