It seems to be wholly lifted from Pete Blaber's "The Mission, the Men, and Me" (https://www.amazon.com/Mission-Men-Me-Lessons-Commander/dp/0425236579 https://www.amazon.com/Mission-Men-Me-Lessons-Commander/dp/0...). For what it's worth, the book is fascinating, and I took away some valuable leadership lessons from it, but, much like most "corporate values", I sincerely doubt it'll see successful implementation in Facebook culture.
Founders invariably suffer from some cognitive dissonance around the nature of their "shared goals" (eg: the "mission") when compared to those they employ. I can recall a cofounder insisting on including a section in performance self-review, wherein she expected us all to list how our personal dreams aligned with those of $employer.
