Are Millennials really lazy, self-centered narcissists whose biggest contribution to our culture is twerking? Should business leaders fear the influx of Millennials working beside them and for them? Keevin O’Rourke offers a perception-shifting take on what Millennials believe about work—and how to make the most of what his generation has to offer 21st-century employers.

Keevin O’Rourke is not just looking ahead to his senior year in college as a marketing major at the University of Northern Iowa. He is strategizing ways to grow his startup company, Monday Creations, out of its current space. Passionate about entrepreneurship, Keevin is vice president of his campus Entrepreneurship Club and an advisory board member for a local One Million Cups group. In those roles, he advises fellow Millennials with startup dreams of their own—the perfect vantage point from which to figure out what Millennials really want in a workplace.
