Macroeconomics 101 for practitioners: which concepts actually matter for valuation and strategy?

What fundamental macro concepts are critical for business acumen and strong articulation - concepts that investment bankers, management consultants, CFOs/CEOs, and strategy teams actually use in day-to-day business discussions and decision-making (e.g., valuation, corporate strategy, capital allocation)?

I’m more interested in the core practical topics than classroom-only theory.
