With colleagues in the Strome College, Bennett completed a 2020 study on how videoconference fatigue can be reduced by fostering more online connection among participants. Another study found taking a one-minute break to watch a funny video can reduce fatigue.
In his profile for Poets & Quants, Bennett said he knew he wanted to become a business school professor after experiencing a mix of "fantastic" and "not-so-great" bosses.
"The great bosses helped me become a better manager, and it was then when I realized that so many management skills could be taught - and that I wanted to teach in a business school to help others learn those skills," he said.
As a professor, Bennett most enjoys "how my students continue to challenge themselves and the world they live in and that I get to be part of that journey."
