This paper traces a parallel between the abilities of the Professional of the Information and the current requirements of the companies in context of the Knowledge Society. The analysis was based on the descriptions of the Brazilian Classification of Occupations (CBO) and on the inquiries on the current abilities demanded for the leader companies, beyond concepts on unfoldings of abilities in the context of the organizational science. It was verified that the abilities established in the CBO converge to the abilities required in the current paradigms of the companies, with limitations. These considerations had lead to the suggestion of a mapping of abilities of the professionals of the information aiming auto management of the career, and to the definition of public politics.
