DEFINITION of 'Gridlock' A government, business or institution's inability to function at a normal level due either to complex or conflicting procedures within the administrative framework or to impending change in the business. BREAKING DOWN 'Gridlock' In business as in traffic, little to nothing gets done when gridlock happens. This can be highly problematic and costly for a company or industry. For example, gridlock can occur if there is infighting within a company, with two groups competing to gain control of the company.
In the United States, gridlock occurs when theSenate and the House of Representatives are controlled by different parties. In the senate, gridlock may also occur when no party has a filibuster-proof majority. Gridlocks may occur when no major political party has the minimum numbers in the lower house to form a government or when a party controls the upper house's majority votes.
