As a project manager you should aim to be proactive (prepare for problems before they happen) rather than just reactive (dealing with problems as they arise).

Proper planning and well setup systems help you to be proactive.

To overcome blind spots in your project, get other project managers (from outside that project) to review your project.

This should be done regularly as part of a scheduled process.

It should include giving that PM a summary of the project and showing them around the project (if a construction site). This is particularly important if you are new to that industry. They may spot problems that you have overlooked.
