Look at the examples right up above that explanation.
eg, one says "It is urgent that SHE sign..."
or "I ask that HE be..."
The book isn't saying you shouldn't have a subject before the subjunctive verb form. It's just saying that, if you have the word THAT, you need to use the subjunctive tense afterward. (As opposed to, say, "I urge you to go to work" - there, I'm using the full infinitive "to go.")
I urge that you study hard tonight.
Study is in the "infinitive minus to" form (to study)
I urge that you tell all your friends about MGMAT. ;)
"infinitive minus to" (to tell)
