Hexagram 7, Shī (The Army): Line 6 (top)
师卦上六 · 地水师 · 中文版
上六：大君有命，开国承家，小人勿用。
The line (Legge)
The topmost SIX, divided, shows the great ruler delivering his charges, (appointing some) to be rulers of states, and others to undertake the headship of clans; but small men should not be employed (in such positions).
Small Image commentary
'The great ruler delivers his charges:' - thereby he rightly apportions merit. 'Small men should not be employed:' - they are sure to throw the states into confusion.
象曰：大君有命，以正功也。小人勿用，必乱邦也。
In plain words
The great ruler issues his commands, founding states and establishing families, but petty people should not be employed. The top line is the end of the campaign, when merit is rewarded: some are made princes of states, others heads of noble houses. The Small Image says the commands are to reward merit correctly, and petty people should not be employed because they would bring disorder to the state.
Applying it to your situation
If a project is finished and its rewards are being shared out, this line suggests dividing them fairly by contribution, but not handing key positions to people who only look after themselves. Beyond merit, have you considered character?
Position
A broken (yin) line in the top place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 3; both are yin, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Shī changes into Hexagram 4 Méng (Youthful Folly). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·师之蒙.
The hexagram
Hexagram 7 Shī (The Army). The Judgment: Shi indicates how, in the case which it supposes, with firmness and correctness, and (a leader of) age and experience, there will be good fortune and no error.
