If you want to know what the executive team spends their time on, the knowledge around capital budgeting and understanding how projects are assessed (ie. using WACC and NPV) is very valuable.
But if one has no clue about how stock markets work, how risk is quantified, the intricacies of call and put options, the various types of bonds, etc. than I would suggest a corporate finance book is a good place to start.
These books take a long time to put together and they are usually pedagogically well put together. Just for this along I would recommend such a book.
A corporate finance book let's you gaze into the window without actually stepping inside.
Tirole for corporate finance and Campbell, Lo and Macinlay for econometrics.
